Word Lanes Level 988 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 988, part of the Levels 901-1000 block. Level 988 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
DEALS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Bargains, cut-price transactions" asks for more than one, and DEALS fits. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
DORMITORY 9 letters - the clue "Building on campus with rooms where students live" describes DORMITORY directly. It ties with HEMINGWAY for the longest lane in Level 988 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
TODDLER 7 letters - "Child who has reached walking age, just" leads to TODDLER by definition. The doubled D is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
GLIDER 6 letters - reading "Engineless plane that flies on the wind" literally points to GLIDER. MERKEL in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
HEMINGWAY 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: HEMINGWAY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with H and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MERKEL 6 letters - the clue "Female leader of Germany in 2015" describes MERKEL directly. It begins with M and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
COWBOY 6 letters - "Like Jesse James, or Woody in Toy Story" leads to COWBOY by definition. It begins with C and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
GONDOLAS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Venetian black boats" asks for more than one, and GONDOLAS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
