Word Lanes Level 9616 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9616, part of the Levels 9601-9700 block. Level 9616 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 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
TOWELS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Absorbent cloths for drying oneself after a shower" asks for more than one, and TOWELS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
BRIMS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Edges of straw hats" asks for more than one, and BRIMS fits. GOALS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
DECREASE 8 letters - "Move down in size" leads to DECREASE by definition. It is the longest answer in Level 9616, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
GLITTER 7 letters - reading "Small sparkly bits, or Mariah Carey movie" literally points to GLITTER. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
TOWN 4 letters - "Smaller than a city but larger than a village" is a straight definition, and TOWN is the word that matches. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
HOLLOW 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: HOLLOW completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
GOALS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Three make a hat trick" asks for more than one, and GOALS fits. It begins with G and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
