Word Lanes Level 1280 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1280, part of the Levels 1201-1300 block. Level 1280 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
PEANUTS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "A negligible amount of money" asks for more than one, and PEANUTS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
RAINBOW 7 letters - the clue "At its end is a pot of gold hidden by leprechauns" describes RAINBOW directly. PEANUTS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CLOSE 5 letters - "Encounter with an alien, maybe of the Third Kind" leads to CLOSE by definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
SOFTBALL 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so SOFTBALL goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. It ties with STALLION for the longest lane in Level 1280 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
STALLION 8 letters - "Older colt, uncastrated male horse" is a straight definition, and STALLION is the word that matches. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
AMADEUS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Oscar winner movie that tells the story of Mozart" asks for more than one, and AMADEUS fits. It begins with A and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
REDCARD 7 letters - "Shown by a referee to send off a player" leads to REDCARD by definition. It begins with R and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PALETTE 7 letters - reading "What an artist mixes paint on" literally points to PALETTE. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
NAPOLEON 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: NAPOLEON completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with N and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
