Word Lanes Level 9490 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9490, part of the Levels 9401-9500 block. Level 9490 contains 8 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.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
IODINE 6 letters - "Chemical element used as medical disinfectant" is a straight definition, and IODINE is the word that matches. It ties with TRIPOD for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
REDROSE 7 letters - the clue "Flower of romance" describes REDROSE directly. FLACCID in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BASTILLEDAY 11 letters - "French holiday celebrated on July 14th" leads to BASTILLEDAY by definition. It ties with DISTINCTION for the longest lane in Level 9490 at 11 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
DISTINCTION 11 letters - reading "Grade awarding special recognition in a course" literally points to DISTINCTION. At 11 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
FLACCID 7 letters - "Not firm" is a straight definition, and FLACCID is the word that matches. The doubled C is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
VEGETABLE 9 letters - the clue "Plant eaten by humans for food" describes VEGETABLE directly. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
TUESDAY 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: TUESDAY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with T and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TRIPOD 6 letters - reading "Three-legged stand or support for a camera" literally points to TRIPOD. It begins with T and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
