Word Lanes Level 405 Answers
13 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 405, part of the Levels 401-500 block. Level 405 contains 13 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
LIT 3 letters - LIT is a short, common word - the clue "A candle that's burning is this" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with TAP for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
CAULIFLOWER 11 letters - the clue "A vegetable, or type of ear deformity" describes CAULIFLOWER directly. It is the longest answer in Level 405, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
SERVANT 7 letters - "An indentured worker in another person's service" leads to SERVANT by definition. It begins with S and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TAP 3 letters - TAP is a short, common word - the clue "Beer on this is draught instead of bottled" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
QAR 3 letters - QAR is a short, common word - the clue "Code for the Qatari riyal" gives it away with a straight definition. It opens with an uncommon Q, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
SHEA 4 letters - the clue "Former home stadium of the New York Mets and Jets" describes SHEA directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
CHART 5 letters - "Map or diagram, an anagram of ratch" leads to CHART by definition. BREAK in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
POLONIUS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Ophelia's father, stabbed by Hamlet" asks for more than one, and POLONIUS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
BREAK 5 letters - "Shatter, crack" is a straight definition, and BREAK is the word that matches. It begins with B and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CUE 3 letters - CUE is a short, common word - the clue "Signal or indication given to a performer to start" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
EYOT 4 letters - "Small island in a lake or river" leads to EYOT by definition. It begins with E and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
GRIFT 5 letters - reading "Small-scale swindle, fraud" literally points to GRIFT. It begins with G and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
RED 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: RED completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with R and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
