Word Lanes Level 8980 Answers
12 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8980, part of the Levels 8901-9000 block. Level 8980 contains 12 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
SEABIRD 7 letters - "A gannet, shearwater or petrel, for example" is a straight definition, and SEABIRD is the word that matches. ERASURE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
ANGEL 5 letters - the clue "A messenger for god, sent from heaven" describes ANGEL directly. It begins with A and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DAN 3 letters - DAN is a short, common word - the clue "Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with INK for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
JEBELALI 8 letters - reading "Dubai port town popular with tourists" literally points to JEBELALI. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
INK 3 letters - INK is a short, common word - the clue "Egyptians made the first out of lampblack or soot" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
VIA 3 letters - VIA is a short, common word - the clue "How and where a route is completed" gives it away with a straight definition. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
SARAHS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Jessica Parker, Michelle Geller and Ferguson" asks for more than one, and SARAHS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
FEW 3 letters - FEW is a short, common word - the clue "Just a small number of items" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with F and ends with W; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
POP 3 letters - POP is a short, common word - the clue "Other name for soda, Nickname for a father" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with P and ends with P; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SPRINGBOKS 10 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "South African national rugby team players" asks for more than one, and SPRINGBOKS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 8980, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
TOXINS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Venoms, poisons" asks for more than one, and TOXINS fits. It begins with T and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ERASURE 7 letters - reading "Vince Clarke's band formed with Andy Bell" literally points to ERASURE. It begins with E and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
