Word Lanes Level 1538 Answers

11 clues solved and verified

This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1538, part of the Levels 1501-1600 block. Level 1538 contains 11 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. You can also browse the neighbouring levels further down this page, jump back to the full 1501-1600 index, open the complete level list, or read the Tips for tactics that work on every tier.

Word-by-Word Breakdown

SUM 3 letters - SUM is a short, common word - the clue "2+2 is this, or the total of several figures" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with FRY for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

SCARECROW 9 letters - the clue "A sort of hay mannequin found in open fields" describes SCARECROW directly. It ties with BUTTERFLY for the longest lane in Level 1538 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

BUTTERFLY 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BUTTERFLY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

FRY 3 letters - FRY is a short, common word - the clue "Cook in shallow or deep oil" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

AWOL 4 letters - "Deserting a post, like in the military" is a straight definition, and AWOL is the word that matches. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

AXL 3 letters - AXL is a short, common word - the clue "Guns 'n' Roses first name of singer Rose" gives it away with a straight definition. SUM in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

CURTAIN 7 letters - "Hanging piece of cloth used to cover a window" leads to CURTAIN by definition. It begins with C and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PORK 4 letters - reading "Pig meat" literally points to PORK. It begins with P and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

KILL 4 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: KILL completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

AVOID 5 letters - the clue "To purposefully dodge something" describes AVOID directly. It begins with A and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

HYPER 5 letters - "Very or overly energetic" leads to HYPER by definition. It begins with H and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
