Word Lanes Level 1980 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1980, part of the Levels 1901-2000 block. Level 1980 contains 9 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
TIMELESS 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so TIMELESS goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. It ties with LOVELOCK for the longest lane in Level 1980 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
ARIES 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Astrological sign associated with the ram" asks for more than one, and ARIES fits. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
ROBERTS 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: ROBERTS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
GROMMET 7 letters - reading "Eyelet of hard material covering a hole" literally points to GROMMET. The doubled M is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
LOVELOCK 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: LOVELOCK completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. TIMELESS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
EMBARGO 7 letters - the clue "Official ban on trade with a particular country" describes EMBARGO directly. It begins with E and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LUNCHEON 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: LUNCHEON completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with L and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ANARCHY 7 letters - reading "State of lawlessness and misrule" literally points to ANARCHY. It begins with A and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TADPOLE 7 letters - "The larval stage of a frog" is a straight definition, and TADPOLE is the word that matches. It begins with T and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
