Word Lanes Level 8850 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8850, part of the Levels 8801-8900 block. Level 8850 contains 9 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 are among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
HAIRDAY 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: HAIRDAY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. RIBCAGE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
RIBCAGE 7 letters - the clue "Bones that protect the heart and lungs" describes RIBCAGE directly. It begins with R and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BRUNCH 6 letters - "Combination of the first two meals of the day" leads to BRUNCH by definition. It ties with SCUTES for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
ADVANCE 7 letters - reading "Move forwards, progress" literally points to ADVANCE. It begins with A and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SCUTES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Name given to the scales of a tortoise's shell" asks for more than one, and SCUTES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
MATTING 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MATTING completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
ABRIDGED 8 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Shortened" leads to ABRIDGED. It begins with A and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
NETTLES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Stinging plants said to show difficulty in dreams" asks for more than one, and NETTLES fits. It begins with N and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PROFESSOR 9 letters - "Teacher at the university level" is a straight definition, and PROFESSOR is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 8850, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
