Word Lanes Level 279 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 279, part of the Levels 201-300 block. Level 279 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 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
CLOCKS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Alarm, grandfather or cuckoo, for example" asks for more than one, and CLOCKS fits. It ties with MOZART for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
DISAGREEING 11 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Differing in opinion" leads to DISAGREEING. It is the longest answer in Level 279, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
DINEOUT 7 letters - "Eat in a restaurant, not at home" leads to DINEOUT by definition. PHOENIX in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
TRUELOVE 8 letters - reading "Genuine, enduring affection" literally points to TRUELOVE. It begins with T and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
OSTRICHES 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Huge, flightless birds with large eggs, big eyes" asks for more than one, and OSTRICHES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
PHOENIX 7 letters - the clue "Rita Ora album featuring Let Me Love You" describes PHOENIX directly. It begins with P and ends with X; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MOZART 6 letters - "Surname of The Marriage of Figaro's composer" leads to MOZART by definition. It begins with M and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ESTIMATING 10 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Taking an educated guess" leads to ESTIMATING. At 10 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
