Word Lanes Level 1989 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1989, part of the Levels 1901-2000 block. Level 1989 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
LATVIA 6 letters - "Country where Riga Black Balsam Beer is brewed" is a straight definition, and LATVIA is the word that matches. BLUFFS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
NICKLAUS 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: NICKLAUS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with COLDCASE for the longest lane in Level 1989 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
MEMENTO 7 letters - "Mystery film with time shifts, stars Guy Pearce" leads to MEMENTO by definition. It begins with M and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CAST 4 letters - reading "Plaster bandage" literally points to CAST. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
BLUFFS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Pretends to have a strong position" asks for more than one, and BLUFFS fits. The doubled F is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SCOUR 5 letters - the clue "Search high and low, hunt thoroughly" describes SCOUR directly. It begins with S and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LOUIS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Tomlinson, former member of One Direction" asks for more than one, and LOUIS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
COLDCASE 8 letters - reading "Unsolved crime of the past, not enough evidence" literally points to COLDCASE. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MONTEGO 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MONTEGO completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with M and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
