Word Lanes Level 5398 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 5398, part of the Levels 5301-5400 block. Level 5398 contains 7 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 are advanced levels, leaning on cultural references, lateral thinking, and longer answers. 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
FOOTPRINT 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FOOTPRINT goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. It ties with BLACKSWAN for the longest lane in Level 5398 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
GRILLPAN 8 letters - the clue "A skillet with a series of parallel ridges" describes GRILLPAN directly. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
KEYRING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Add the new door unlocker to this handy item" leads to KEYRING. It ties with DRIZZLE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
BLACKSWAN 9 letters - reading "Dark water bird native to Australia" literally points to BLACKSWAN. FOOTPRINT in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
HALFWITS 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HALFWITS goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
DRIZZLE 7 letters - the clue "Slowly pour a swirl of cream into a soup bowl" describes DRIZZLE directly. The doubled Z is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
HOMEBODY 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HOMEBODY 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.
