Word Lanes Level 888 Answers
11 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 888, part of the Levels 801-900 block. Level 888 contains 11 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
SIDE 4 letters - "Accompanying dish to a main meal" is a straight definition, and SIDE is the word that matches. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
MAP 3 letters - MAP is a short, common word - the clue "Chart showing roads and geographical features" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with POT for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
POT 3 letters - POT is a short, common word - the clue "Container for a houseplant" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
GPA 3 letters - GPA is a short, common word - the clue "Gross point average, initialism" gives it away with a straight definition. MAP in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
HAILSTONE 9 letters - "Hard ball of ice that falls from the sky like rain" is a straight definition, and HAILSTONE is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 888, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
OARS 4 letters - the clue "Items used to steer or propel a canoe" describes OARS directly. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
RORY 4 letters - "Northern Ireland golfer McIlroy" leads to RORY by definition. It begins with R and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
GAMBLING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Placing bets with money" leads to GAMBLING. It begins with G and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
INFORMAL 8 letters - "Relaxed, no rules, casual dress" is a straight definition, and INFORMAL is the word that matches. It begins with I and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FLO 3 letters - FLO is a short, common word - the clue "Shortened name for nurse Nightingale, perhaps" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with F and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MOOCHED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Wandered around aimlessly" leads to MOOCHED. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
