Word Lanes Level 8857 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8857, part of the Levels 8801-8900 block. Level 8857 contains 7 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
KWANZAA 7 letters - "A festival observed from December 26 to January 1" is a straight definition, and KWANZAA is the word that matches. It ties with SEAGULL for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SEAGULL 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: SEAGULL completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
MINISKIRT 9 letters - "Mary Quant made this item of clothing popular" leads to MINISKIRT by definition. It begins with M and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BARITONE 8 letters - reading "Neither bass nor tenor" literally points to BARITONE. REMINDER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
WEEPING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Picasso's follow-up to Guernica was doing this" leads to WEEPING. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
REMINDER 8 letters - the clue "Prompt to set for when a meeting will take place" describes REMINDER directly. It begins with R and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MATCHPOINT 10 letters - "Score this in tennis to win" leads to MATCHPOINT by definition. It is the longest answer in Level 8857, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
