CodyCross Group 981 belongs to the Futuristic City world and contains 53 clues across its five puzzles, each listed below with its answer and letter count. The longest answer is BREAK A LEG at 11 letters. That is a shorter group than most, which usually means one of its puzzles is a smaller grid.
CodyCross is a clue game rather than a letter game, so the useful thing on this page is the clue text itself. If you are stuck on a single line, find that exact wording in the table below rather than reading a bare list of answers — the words around it are what confirm you are on the right puzzle, since answers repeat across the game far more often than clues do.
Answers average 8 letters across this group — mid-length, where the clue and the crossings carry roughly equal weight. Work whichever you have more of.
This group sits in the 901–1,000 block, with group 980 and group 982 linked at the foot of the page.

How CodyCross Works
The same three moves solve most CodyCross puzzles, including this one.
Search the clue, not the answer
CodyCross repeats answers across worlds but rarely repeats a clue. The wording is what pins down which line you are on.
Fill the crossings first
Long answers are more constrained than short ones. With a few intersecting letters the grid usually decides the word before the clue does.
Check the world
Every group page names its world. If it does not match the one on your screen, you have the wrong group number.
CodyCross Tips & Strategy
Starting with what this particular group teaches you.
This chain has 53 links
Fill the answers you are sure of first — each confirmed link constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone.
Longest answer is BREAK A LEG
At 11 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.
The clue identifies the line
Answers repeat throughout CodyCross; clues almost never do. Match the exact wording and you can be certain you are on the right puzzle.
Letter counts split near-identical clues
Where two clues read similarly, the answer length separates them instantly. Every answer here carries its count.
Long answers are the easy ones
More squares means more crossings and fewer possible words. If a group is fighting you, start with its longest slot rather than its shortest.
Work the group, not the puzzle
Puzzles inside a group share a theme. A clue that makes no sense alone often becomes obvious once you have read the others on the same group page.
