Word Lanes Level 979 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 979, part of the Levels 901-1000 block. Level 979 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 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
DORMANCY 8 letters - "A temporary period of paused physical activity" is a straight definition, and DORMANCY is the word that matches. It begins with D and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BAFFLED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Confused, not understanding" leads to BAFFLED. The doubled F is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
RAVINE 6 letters - "Deep, narrow-sided valley alongside a river" leads to RAVINE by definition. It ties with TERROR for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
PRINTER 7 letters - reading "Device that reproduces on-screen files on paper" literally points to PRINTER. BAFFLED in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
TERROR 6 letters - "Extreme fear" is a straight definition, and TERROR is the word that matches. The doubled R is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PROVOKE 7 letters - the clue "Goad to deliberately cause a reaction" describes PROVOKE directly. It begins with P and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FAULTLESS 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Perfect, immaculate, free from errors or flaws" asks for more than one, and FAULTLESS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 979, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
WAKEMAN 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: WAKEMAN completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
ARRANGE 7 letters - "To place in a special order" is a straight definition, and ARRANGE is the word that matches. It begins with A and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
