Word Lanes Level 889 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 889, part of the Levels 801-900 block. Level 889 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 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
ABSORBS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "A proton does this to an electron when they meet" asks for more than one, and ABSORBS fits. It ties with SOLUBLE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
DEPARTURE 9 letters - the clue "Blasting off of a plane" describes DEPARTURE directly. It ties with GLADIATOR for the longest lane in Level 889 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
SOLUBLE 7 letters - "Capable of dissolving in water" leads to SOLUBLE by definition. ABSORBS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
WAITRESS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Cocktail bar worker in Human League hit" asks for more than one, and WAITRESS fits. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
FOGHORNS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Sirens on boats, sounded at New Year" asks for more than one, and FOGHORNS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
CARELESS 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CARELESS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
GLADIATOR 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: GLADIATOR completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with G and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
