How to play

Every song in the daily set works the same way:

  1. Press play — you start with just the first 1 second of the song.
  2. Pick the track from four options, each shown as “title — artist”. Tapping an option locks in your guess.
  3. Guessed wrong? The question ends right there — your pick is crossed out, the correct answer is revealed, and the question scores zero.
  4. The earlier you nail it, the more you score: 5 points within 1 second, 3 within 3s, 2 within 7s, and 1 if you need the full 15 seconds.

You can replay the clip as many times as you like before answering — but every question gives you exactly one guess.
