Word Lanes Level 498 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 498, part of the Levels 401-500 block. Level 498 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
HOLEY 5 letters - "Could describe a Swiss cheese or a colander" is a straight definition, and HOLEY is the word that matches. ERECT in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SICK 4 letters - the clue "Nauseous, ill" describes SICK directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
BLESSING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Sanctifying an object" leads to BLESSING. It ties with SANDWICH for the longest lane in Level 498 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
AFRICAN 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: AFRICAN completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with A and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CREATE 6 letters - "To physically make something, art, music" is a straight definition, and CREATE is the word that matches. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
EXHIBIT 7 letters - the clue "To show, display" describes EXHIBIT directly. It begins with E and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SANDWICH 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so SANDWICH goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 8 boxes before guessing.
ERECT 5 letters - reading "Upright" literally points to ERECT. It begins with E and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FONDLY 6 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Warmly, dearly" leads to FONDLY. It begins with F and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
