Six guesses per puzzle. Every wrong guess or skip unlocks a longer clip: 0.1s, 0.5s, 1s, 2s, 5s, then the full preview.

Every day at midnight Eastern Time (04:00 UTC). We record the new answers on this page and on the today page within minutes of the reset.

Can I get hints for this date without spoiling the answers?

How are Songless appearances counted on this page?
Each row is a dated appearance, not a unique song. The same artist or song can return on another day; see the repeat-songs study for the repeat rate and gaps.
How this day was verified
SonglessAnswers is an independent tracker. We pull each day’s puzzle from the official game, cross-check the answers against a second source, then enrich the release year and genre from public music metadata. When sources disagree we hold the answer and re-check instead of publishing a guess. Corrections land in the machine-readable archive API.
