Word Lanes Level 9840 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9840, part of the Levels 9801-9900 block. Level 9840 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
LOCALBANK 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: LOCALBANK completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with CENTIPEDE for the longest lane in Level 9840 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
CENTIPEDE 9 letters - the clue "Insectivore with many legs, classic arcade game" describes CENTIPEDE directly. LOCALBANK in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
TURNSTILE 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so TURNSTILE goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 9 boxes before guessing.
BAGPIPES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Scottish screeching wind instrument" asks for more than one, and BAGPIPES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
MURMUR 6 letters - "Sound of voice too low to be understood" is a straight definition, and MURMUR is the word that matches. It ties with CRISIS for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SUMPTUOUS 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Splendid, magnificent, extravagant" asks for more than one, and SUMPTUOUS fits. It begins with S and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CRISIS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Time of great trouble when police, medics respond" asks for more than one, and CRISIS fits. It begins with C and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FERGUSON 8 letters - reading "Winston's cat on the TV show New Girl" literally points to FERGUSON. It begins with F and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
