Word Lanes Level 4987 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 4987, part of the Levels 4901-5000 block. Level 4987 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 are advanced levels, leaning on cultural references, lateral thinking, and longer answers. 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
RAINBOW 7 letters - "Arc of colored light in the sky" is a straight definition, and RAINBOW is the word that matches. It begins with R and ends with W; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
RUNNERUP 8 letters - the clue "Athlete who finishes in second place" describes RUNNERUP directly. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
FLANK 5 letters - "Fleshy part of the side of an animal's body" leads to FLANK by definition. BINGO in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
TAGS 4 letters - reading "Hanging pieces of paper attached to new clothes" literally points to TAGS. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
STARES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Looks hard at something/someone" asks for more than one, and STARES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
INVENTION 9 letters - the clue "Newly created device or process" describes INVENTION directly. It begins with I and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
OWNERSHIP 9 letters - "Possession, holding" leads to OWNERSHIP by definition. It begins with O and ends with P; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BINGO 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BINGO completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with B and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CONCENTRATE 11 letters - "Version of a drink that needs to be diluted" is a straight definition, and CONCENTRATE is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 4987, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
