Word Lanes Level 961 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 961, part of the Levels 901-1000 block. Level 961 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
SPICES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Condiments, seasoning and herbs" asks for more than one, and SPICES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
ZEALAND 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: ZEALAND completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with GALLEON for the longest lane in Level 961 at 7 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
GALLEON 7 letters - "Tall sailing ship" leads to GALLEON by definition. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SQUEAK 6 letters - reading "The noise a mouse makes" literally points to SQUEAK. SPICES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
FETCH 5 letters - "To bring back, e.g. a dog with a stick" is a straight definition, and FETCH is the word that matches. It begins with F and ends with H; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ELECTED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Voted in, chosen by ballot" leads to ELECTED. It begins with E and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FOOD 4 letters - "What humans cook and eat" leads to FOOD by definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
LASHED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Whipped" leads to LASHED. It begins with L and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
