Word Lanes Level 493 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 493, part of the Levels 401-500 block. Level 493 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
PRINTER 7 letters - "A device for placing ink on paper" is a straight definition, and PRINTER is the word that matches. It begins with P and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BIOGRAPHY 9 letters - the clue "Book that someone writes about someone famous" describes BIOGRAPHY directly. It begins with B and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PORTERHOUSE 11 letters - "Cut of steak taken from the thick end of a sirloin" leads to PORTERHOUSE by definition. It ties with SUBSTANTIAL for the longest lane in Level 493 at 11 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
WAFFLE 6 letters - reading "Griddled rectangle of sweet batter" literally points to WAFFLE. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
LENGTH 6 letters - "It can be measured in inches, yards or leagues" is a straight definition, and LENGTH is the word that matches. WAFFLE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
FETTUCCINE 10 letters - the clue "Long, flat, thick pasta popular in Tuscany" describes FETTUCCINE directly. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SUBSTANTIAL 11 letters - "Plentiful, a considerable amount" leads to SUBSTANTIAL by definition. At 11 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
HALL 4 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: HALL completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
