Word Lanes Level 1990 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1990, part of the Levels 1901-2000 block. Level 1990 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
IMPALA 6 letters - "African leaping antelope with curving horns" is a straight definition, and IMPALA is the word that matches. It ties with BABOON for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SPEEDWELL 9 letters - the clue "Blue-flowered veronica species" describes SPEEDWELL directly. It ties with INNKEEPER for the longest lane in Level 1990 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
POTSHOT 7 letters - "Criticism aimed at an easy target" leads to POTSHOT by definition. SEASICK in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

BABOON 6 letters - the clue "Monkey with long snout, genus Papio" describes BABOON directly. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
INNKEEPER 9 letters - "Stable owner who had room for Mary and Joseph" leads to INNKEEPER by definition. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
