Word Lanes Level 1494 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1494, part of the Levels 1401-1500 block. Level 1494 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
PHOBIA 6 letters - "An intense irrational fear" is a straight definition, and PHOBIA is the word that matches. JORDAN in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SHARK 5 letters - the clue "Animal that scared swimmers in Jaws" describes SHARK directly. It ties with TEENS for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
WETLAND 7 letters - "Area consisting of marshes or swamps" leads to WETLAND by definition. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
HEADLIGHT 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HEADLIGHT goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 9 boxes before guessing.
JORDAN 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: JORDAN completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
TEENS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "People older than 12 but younger than 20" asks for more than one, and TEENS fits. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
AFRAID 6 letters - "Scared, frightened" leads to AFRAID by definition. It begins with A and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
QUESTIONS 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Some suggest not to ask too many of these" asks for more than one, and QUESTIONS fits. It opens with an uncommon Q, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
NEILDIAMOND 11 letters - "Sweet Caroline and Love on the Rocks crooner" is a straight definition, and NEILDIAMOND is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 1494, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
