Word Lanes Level 8981 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8981, part of the Levels 8901-9000 block. Level 8981 contains 7 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 are among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
SCENT 5 letters - "Fragrance, smell" is a straight definition, and SCENT is the word that matches. It begins with S and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HOWE 4 letters - the clue "Last name of NHL legend Gordie" describes HOWE directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
TRIDENT 7 letters - "Poseidon fork or former British car manufacturer" leads to TRIDENT by definition. BEEHIVE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
FRECKLES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Small spots on the skin caused by sun exposure" asks for more than one, and FRECKLES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
POPULATION 10 letters - "The number of people in a region" is a straight definition, and POPULATION is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 8981, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
BEEHIVE 7 letters - the clue "Where honeycomb is found, a hairdo from the 1960s" describes BEEHIVE directly. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
MARLENE 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MARLENE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with M and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
