Word Lanes Level 278 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 278, part of the Levels 201-300 block. Level 278 contains 8 clues, each one solved and then typed back into the live Fanatee Inc app so that every answer on this page matches the word the game actually accepts. These sit in the intermediate band, where the order turns random, clues start using wordplay, and multi-word answers appear. Below you will find each clue paired with its exact answer in a clean two-column table, followed by a word-by-word breakdown that explains why each solution fits its lane, how long it is, and which letters it hands to the crossing clues. If a lane is fighting you, start with the longest answer in the level: it releases the most crossing letters and usually collapses the rest of the stack. Because Word Lanes randomises level order per player after Level 12, the number printed on your screen may not be the number here - if the clues below are not the ones you are looking at, use the Clue Search Tool and type any word from your clue instead of hunting by number.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
STILLER 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: STILLER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
ARABLE 6 letters - the clue "Land that can be cultivated for growing crops" describes ARABLE directly. It ties with REGGAE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
REGGAE 6 letters - "Musical genre originating in 1960s Jamaica" leads to REGGAE by definition. The doubled G is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
CHIVES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Oniony herb that's snipped and added to salads" asks for more than one, and CHIVES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
FRIGATE 7 letters - "Speedy warship, red-breasted black bird" is a straight definition, and FRIGATE is the word that matches. STILLER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BALANCE 7 letters - the clue "Stand steadily on one leg without wobbling" describes BALANCE directly. It begins with B and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DISMANTLE 9 letters - "To systematically take apart" leads to DISMANTLE by definition. It is the longest answer in Level 278, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
COMPARES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Weighs the pros and cons of two or more items" asks for more than one, and COMPARES fits. It begins with C and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
