Word Lanes Level 505 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 505, part of the Levels 501-600 block. Level 505 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 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 501-600 index, open the complete level list, or read the Tips for tactics that work on every tier.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
WHIFF 5 letters - "A faint smell" is a straight definition, and WHIFF is the word that matches. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
RAINBOW 7 letters - the clue "It's thought to have a pot of gold at the end" describes RAINBOW directly. BOOTIES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
MACDONALD 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MACDONALD completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the longest answer in Level 505, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
BOOTIES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Knitted baby shoes" asks for more than one, and BOOTIES fits. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
ACADEMY 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: ACADEMY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with A and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FRIENDS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Sitcom with Rachel, Monica and Phoebe" asks for more than one, and FRIENDS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
BEAUTY 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BEAUTY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with B and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
POINTING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Using a digit to indicate location" leads to POINTING. It begins with P and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CHECKING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Verifying" leads to CHECKING. It begins with C and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
