Word Lanes Level 1859 Answers

AMPHIBIAN 9 letters - "A cold-blooded, water-loving animal like a frog" is a straight definition, and AMPHIBIAN is the word that matches. It ties with CLEOPATRA for the longest lane in Level 1859 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

VENOMOUS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "A poisonous animal is this, a snake for e.g." asks for more than one, and VENOMOUS fits. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

CLEOPATRA 9 letters - "Elizabeth Taylor played this Egyptian queen" leads to CLEOPATRA by definition. AMPHIBIAN in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

RINSED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Has been washed with water to clean" leads to RINSED. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

MASTERY 7 letters - "Learning all of a skill, moving past intermediate" is a straight definition, and MASTERY is the word that matches. It begins with M and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

FORMERLY 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FORMERLY goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 8 boxes before guessing.

LITERACY 8 letters - "Study of reading and writing" leads to LITERACY by definition. It begins with L and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

CATHERINE 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CATHERINE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
