Word Lanes Level 9040 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9040, part of the Levels 9001-9100 block. Level 9040 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 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
PLASTIC 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: PLASTIC completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with P and ends with C; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BURROW 6 letters - the clue "Home of the Weasley family and Shropshire town" describes BURROW directly. The doubled R is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
REPOSE 6 letters - "Inactivity, rest, relaxation, restfulness" leads to REPOSE by definition. BURROW in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
VIRUS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Infectious sickness" asks for more than one, and VIRUS fits. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
TERIYAKI 8 letters - "Japanese cooking that uses soy sauce glaze" is a straight definition, and TERIYAKI is the word that matches. It begins with T and ends with I; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SOUTHERN 8 letters - the clue "Ocean that surrounds Antarctica" describes SOUTHERN directly. It begins with S and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PORPOISE 8 letters - "Small toothed whales aka mereswine" leads to PORPOISE by definition. It begins with P and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
JETTISONED 10 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Threw from a ship" leads to JETTISONED. It is the longest answer in Level 9040, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
TETHER 6 letters - "Tie, e.g. secure an animal with a rope" is a straight definition, and TETHER is the word that matches. It begins with T and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
