Word Lanes Level 987 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 987, part of the Levels 901-1000 block. Level 987 contains 8 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
PULPFICTION 11 letters - "1994 Tarantino film starring John Travolta" is a straight definition, and PULPFICTION is the word that matches. It ties with EXAMINATION for the longest lane in Level 987 at 11 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
GOLD 4 letters - the clue "A yellow precious metal" describes GOLD directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
SHOOTS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "First signs of spring that poke up through the soil" asks for more than one, and SHOOTS fits. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SUBMIT 6 letters - reading "Hand in a piece of work to be graded" literally points to SUBMIT. SHOOTS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
IRONMAIDEN 10 letters - "Rock band one might think was a metallic woman" is a straight definition, and IRONMAIDEN is the word that matches. At 10 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
AUSTRALIA 9 letters - the clue "Singer Helen Reddy's country" describes AUSTRALIA directly. It begins with A and ends with A; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TURNIPS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Swedes, root vegetables" asks for more than one, and TURNIPS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
EXAMINATION 11 letters - reading "Test, assessment" literally points to EXAMINATION. At 11 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
