Word Lanes Level 389 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 389, part of the Levels 301-400 block. Level 389 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
HEATHERS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "A teen film with Winona Ryder and Christian Slater" asks for more than one, and HEATHERS fits. It ties with INCIDENT for the longest lane in Level 389 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
BOTTLE 6 letters - the clue "A vessel to hold a beverage, or maybe a message" describes BOTTLE directly. It ties with DEFEAT for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
INCIDENT 8 letters - "Dramatic event, like a crime" leads to INCIDENT by definition. HEATHERS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
DEFEAT 6 letters - reading "Gain victory over" literally points to DEFEAT. It begins with D and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MARTINI 7 letters - "Gin and vermouth short drink perhaps with an olive" is a straight definition, and MARTINI is the word that matches. It begins with M and ends with I; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HUDSON 6 letters - the clue "Has a bay, river and strait named after him" describes HUDSON directly. It begins with H and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SEVERAL 7 letters - "Multiple, many" leads to SEVERAL by definition. It begins with S and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
RHETORIC 8 letters - reading "Persuasive writing or speaking" literally points to RHETORIC. It begins with R and ends with C; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
