Word Lanes Level 873 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 873, part of the Levels 801-900 block. Level 873 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
INCIDENT 8 letters - "A minor event" is a straight definition, and INCIDENT is the word that matches. APPLAUDS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
UNIDENTIFIED 12 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Anonymous, not known" leads to UNIDENTIFIED. It is the longest answer in Level 873, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
APPLAUDS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Claps hands in appreciation" asks for more than one, and APPLAUDS fits. The doubled P is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SEVERED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Cut off, amputated" leads to SEVERED. It begins with S and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
COMPLEXITY 10 letters - "Difficulty or intricacy" is a straight definition, and COMPLEXITY is the word that matches. At 10 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
COMPOST 7 letters - the clue "Heap of decaying organic matter in a garden" describes COMPOST directly. It begins with C and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SLACKER 7 letters - "One who doesn't work hard" leads to SLACKER by definition. It begins with S and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SNAIL 5 letters - reading "Shelled mollusk eaten as escargot in French food" literally points to SNAIL. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
