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.
