Word Lanes Level 1461 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1461, part of the Levels 1401-1500 block. Level 1461 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.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
TOTALLY 7 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "1980s slang for I agree, completely" leads to TOTALLY. It is the longest answer in Level 1461, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
RIDDLE 6 letters - the clue "An enigma, a tricky word puzzle" describes RIDDLE directly. The doubled D is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
WRECK 5 letters - "Damaged, sunken ship" leads to WRECK by definition. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
ALICIA 6 letters - reading "First name of Keys, piano-playing Grammy winner" literally points to ALICIA. RIDDLE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CHASE 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CHASE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
WIND 4 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: WIND completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with IDEA for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
IDEA 4 letters - "Mental concept" leads to IDEA by definition. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
FUNDED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Provided financial support or backing" leads to FUNDED. It begins with F and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SHORT 5 letters - "Straw that nobody wants to draw" is a straight definition, and SHORT is the word that matches. It begins with S and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
