Word Lanes Level 4940 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 4940, part of the Levels 4901-5000 block. Level 4940 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 are advanced levels, leaning on cultural references, lateral thinking, and longer answers. 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
SCOTT 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: SCOTT completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
CHECKMATE 9 letters - the clue "Chess position in which the opponent can only lose" describes CHECKMATE directly. It is the longest answer in Level 4940, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
VELVET 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: VELVET completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
BONSOIR 7 letters - reading "French for "good evening"" literally points to BONSOIR. FORWARD in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
FORWARD 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: FORWARD completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with F and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BOOMMIC 7 letters - the clue "Long-poled device for recording sound in movies" describes BOOMMIC directly. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SORBONNE 8 letters - "Paris university with 13th-century origins" leads to SORBONNE by definition. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
STITCHES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Sutures to close an open wound" asks for more than one, and STITCHES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
VARSITY 7 letters - "University or a US college sports team" is a straight definition, and VARSITY is the word that matches. It begins with V and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
