Word Lanes Level 5496 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 5496, part of the Levels 5401-5500 block. Level 5496 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 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
GIFT 4 letters - "A birthday present" is a straight definition, and GIFT is the word that matches. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
BLACK 5 letters - the clue "Amy Winehouse's album went back to this shade" describes BLACK directly. It begins with B and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DON 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: DON completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
IKEA 4 letters - reading "Flat-pack furniture chain from Sweden" literally points to IKEA. GIFT in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
TURKEY 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: TURKEY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with T and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BARNACLE 8 letters - the clue "Shellfish that clings onto rocks, stubbornly" describes BARNACLE directly. It is the longest answer in Level 5496, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
CHUMPS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Thickos, like Laurel and Hardy at Oxford Uni" asks for more than one, and CHUMPS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
HAMISH 6 letters - reading "Triplet with Hubert and Harris, brothers of Merida" literally points to HAMISH. It begins with H and ends with H; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
