Word Lanes Level 6490 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 6490, part of the Levels 6401-6500 block. Level 6490 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 among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
OWLET 5 letters - "Baby of the nocturnal bird of prey" is a straight definition, and OWLET is the word that matches. TOKYO in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SHAUNMURPHY 11 letters - the clue "Good Doctor Freddie Highmore plays" describes SHAUNMURPHY directly. It is the longest answer in Level 6490, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
BEANSTALK 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BEANSTALK completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with B and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TOKYO 5 letters - reading "Japan's busy capital city" literally points to TOKYO. It begins with T and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
WHITEN 6 letters - "Professionally brighten up a smile" is a straight definition, and WHITEN is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
REED 4 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Tall, grasslike plant that grows beside water" leads to REED. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
DUODENUM 8 letters - "The first section of the small intestine" leads to DUODENUM by definition. It begins with D and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MASSAGE 7 letters - reading "Therapeutic manipulation of sore muscles" literally points to MASSAGE. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
TOMCRUISE 9 letters - "Top Gun and Cocktail actor" is a straight definition, and TOMCRUISE is the word that matches. It begins with T and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
