Word Lanes Level 488 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 488, part of the Levels 401-500 block. Level 488 contains 7 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
GEORGE 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: GEORGE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with GELLER for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
MEREDITHGREY 12 letters - the clue "Ellen Pompeo's TV surgeon character" describes MEREDITHGREY directly. It is the longest answer in Level 488, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
GELLER 6 letters - "Family name of Ross and Monica from Friends" leads to GELLER by definition. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
DOMINOES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Game of slabs with spots" asks for more than one, and DOMINOES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
SHOPPING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Mall activity" leads to SHOPPING. The doubled P is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
QUIZZES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Small tests of general knowledge" asks for more than one, and QUIZZES fits. It opens with an uncommon Q, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
SCRAPYARD 9 letters - "Storage space for rusty, unwanted vehicles" leads to SCRAPYARD by definition. It begins with S and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
