How Spotle works
Spotle is Wordle for music fans. You type an artist's name and the game scores how close they are to the mystery artist across traits like genre, debut era, country, popularity, and whether they're a solo act or a band. The feedback is color-coded, and you get ten guesses.
| Mode | What's different |
|---|---|
| Green | That attribute (genre, era, country, etc.) matches today's artist exactly. |
| Yellow | Close but not exact — often a debut year within a few years, or a neighboring region. |
| Red | Wrong attribute — change genre, era, or artist type entirely. |
| 10 guesses | You get ten tries to name the mystery artist of the day. |
Tips for solving Spotle
- Open with a household name from a broad lane — pop, hip hop, rock, country — to read genre and era before you narrow down.
- Settle solo vs. band early. It cuts the search space roughly in half in one guess.
- Chase the color feedback, not a hunch. Green locks an attribute; yellow means you're within a few years or a nearby country; red means abandon that direction.
- Once you have the decade and genre, guess other famous names from that exact pocket before reaching for deep cuts.
- Use the popularity rank as a range-finder — a very low rank number means a megastar, so you can lead with the biggest names in that lane.
