Word Lanes Level 486 has 8 words. Always place the longest word first — PERMANENT (9 letters). Every confirmed letter in that lane immediately narrows the candidates for adjacent positions, and the shorter lanes fall into place almost automatically.
Word Lanes has no single-use restriction on tiles — any letter can appear in as many words as needed. If a word seems impossible, try reversals and common English suffixes (-ED, -ER, -ING, -TION). The Word Lanes hub has every level with verified answers if you need a full reference.
Level 486 is part of the Snowy Slopes pack. Pack themes cluster the vocabulary — if you know the theme, bias toward related words. After this level, head to Level 487 to keep your streak going.
