How To Play Spotle?

As mentioned, the main goal for players is to guess the correct music artist, for which they get 10 chances. However, there are no initial hints. You have to type in a random artist’s name. After each guess, Spotle will tell you how close you are. The hints are based on factors such as genre, era, popularity, and connections between artists. These feedbacks are color-coded:
- Green: The attribute is correct and is the same for today’s artist.
- Yellow: The attribute is a close match, but not entirely accurate, such as debut year or nationality.
- Red: The attribute isn’t correct.
The trick is first to guess whether the artist is a solo artist or plays in a band. Then narrow down the debut year using a set list of popular artists from each decade. After that, think of other artists from the same time period and figure out the genre.
