Word Lanes Level 6497 Answers

7 clues solved and verified

This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 6497, part of the Levels 6401-6500 block. Level 6497 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 among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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. You can also browse the neighbouring levels further down this page, jump back to the full 6401-6500 index, open the complete level list, or read the Tips for tactics that work on every tier.

Level 6497 Clues and Answers

ClueAnswer
Eyeglasses get this way when temperature changes FOGGEDUP

So old, very very old ANCIENT
Sprayed someone with a water pistol SQUIRTED
The bulk of a country, not offshore isles MAINLAND
Your star sign if you're born on December 31 CAPRICORN

Word-by-Word Breakdown

FOGGEDUP 8 letters - "Eyeglasses get this way when temperature changes" is a straight definition, and FOGGEDUP is the word that matches. The doubled G is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

CAMISOLE 8 letters - the clue "Originally, early 19th C loose sleeveless chemise" describes CAMISOLE directly. FOGGEDUP in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

BOOMTOWN 8 letters - "Place of prosperity, e.g. thanks to gold discovery" leads to BOOMTOWN by definition. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

ANCIENT 7 letters - reading "So old, very very old" literally points to ANCIENT. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

SQUIRTED 8 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Sprayed someone with a water pistol" leads to SQUIRTED. It begins with S and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

MAINLAND 8 letters - the clue "The bulk of a country, not offshore isles" describes MAINLAND directly. It begins with M and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

CAPRICORN 9 letters - "Your star sign if you're born on December 31" leads to CAPRICORN by definition. It is the longest answer in Level 6497, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
