Word Lanes Level 1497 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1497, part of the Levels 1401-1500 block. Level 1497 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
FAREWELL 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: FAREWELL completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with BULLSEYE for the longest lane in Level 1497 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
TRAUMAS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Bad experiences, anagram of Sumatra" asks for more than one, and TRAUMAS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
MEXICO 6 letters - "Country where Leon Trotsky was assassinated" leads to MEXICO by definition. It ties with GINGER for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
BULLSEYE 8 letters - reading "Middle of a target, what the shooter aims for" literally points to BULLSEYE. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PHYSICAL 8 letters - "Olivia Newton-John's song to get you off the couch" is a straight definition, and PHYSICAL is the word that matches. FAREWELL in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GINGER 6 letters - the clue "Root spice that can help calm upset stomachs" describes GINGER directly. It begins with G and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HONESTY 7 letters - "This is the best policy" leads to HONESTY by definition. It begins with H and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
EGGAND 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: EGGAND completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled G is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
