Word Lanes Level 9860 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9860, part of the Levels 9801-9900 block. Level 9860 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
MANITOBA 8 letters - "Canadian province to the west of Ontario" is a straight definition, and MANITOBA is the word that matches. MYOSITIS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GINGHAM 7 letters - the clue "Checked dyed cotton fabric" describes GINGHAM directly. It ties with ANODYNE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
CONGESTING 10 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Crowding a road with traffic" leads to CONGESTING. It is the longest answer in Level 9860, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
MYOSITIS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Inflammation of the muscles" asks for more than one, and MYOSITIS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
ANODYNE 7 letters - "Inoffensively bland, uninspiring" is a straight definition, and ANODYNE is the word that matches. It begins with A and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MONAGHAN 8 letters - the clue "Lost actor Dominic, born in Berlin in 1976" describes MONAGHAN directly. It begins with M and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
UNLOVED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Not cherished or cared for" leads to UNLOVED. It begins with U and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
EQUALIZER 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: EQUALIZER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with E and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
