Word Lanes Level 8960 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8960, part of the Levels 8901-9000 block. Level 8960 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
BLONDIE 7 letters - "80s New Wave band fronted by Debbie Harry" is a straight definition, and BLONDIE is the word that matches. CRONIES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CRONIES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Close friends or associates" asks for more than one, and CRONIES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
MUSTARD 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MUSTARD completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with M and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SPECIALLY 9 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "For a specific purpose or occasion" leads to SPECIALLY. It is the longest answer in Level 8960, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
GALAXY 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: GALAXY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with ANTICS for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
PACIFIC 7 letters - the clue "Ocean in which the Marshall Islands are located" describes PACIFIC directly. It begins with P and ends with C; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ANTICS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Outrageous escapades" asks for more than one, and ANTICS fits. It begins with A and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TAXPAYER 8 letters - reading "Person who funds government" literally points to TAXPAYER. It begins with T and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MODOTTI 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MODOTTI completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
