Word Lanes Level 2280 Answers
10 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 2280, part of the Levels 2201-2300 block. Level 2280 contains 10 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
CHESS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "A board game that has queens, rooks and knights" asks for more than one, and CHESS fits. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
REFRAINED 9 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Abstained, held back" leads to REFRAINED. CALCULATE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CHUR 4 letters - "Capital of Swiss canton The Grisons" leads to CHUR by definition. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
ENG 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: ENG completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
CUDGEL 6 letters - "Club, truncheon" is a straight definition, and CUDGEL is the word that matches. It begins with C and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
THREATS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Expressed intentions to cause damage or harm" asks for more than one, and THREATS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
CRISSCROSSED 12 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Intersected again and again" leads to CRISSCROSSED. It is the longest answer in Level 2280, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
OSSIA 5 letters - reading "Music term for an alternative passage" literally points to OSSIA. It begins with O and ends with A; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FADE 4 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: FADE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with F and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CALCULATE 9 letters - the clue "Work out, add up, determine" describes CALCULATE directly. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
