Level 496 Answers

This page lists every answer for Zen Word level 496, all 12 of them. The words are listed in the order the game accepts them, so you can take the single one you are missing instead of reading the whole board.

Zen Word builds each level from one letter pool, and the longer answers almost always share their opening letters with the shorter ones — filling the three- and four-letter words first usually reveals the rest without help. If you would rather keep going than look up one answer at a time, step through from the Zen Word answers hub, which indexes every level we hold.

Every answer is checked against the live game rather than copied from another site. Games do get updated, so if a word here stops matching what your screen shows, leave a comment below and it will be re-checked.
