Score more by guessing early
A correct answer on the first clip earns 100 points. Each additional reveal makes the round easier, but lowers the score. The useful question is not only “Do I know this song?” but “Do I know it already?”

HOW TO PLAY
Choose an artist. Name the song.
This Musicdle artist song quiz starts with the music you know. Pick any artist, listen to a very short clip, then decide whether you can name the track before more of it is revealed.
- STEP 1
Pick an artist
Search for an artist or choose one of the quick picks. The next rounds are drawn from that artist’s available song previews.
- STEP 2
Hear 1 second
Every round begins with a one-second clip. Listen for an opening vocal, beat, melody or production detail.
- STEP 3
Guess or skip
Type the title when you know it. A miss or skip unlocks a longer clip: 2, 4, 7, then 11 seconds.
- STEP 4
Build a record
Finish a round and play another immediately. Your best scores and streaks are tracked for each artist on this device.
THE ARTIST MODE
A song quiz built around the artists you know
Guess the Song by Artist is for the moment when you know an artist’s catalogue better than you know a random playlist. Instead of jumping between unrelated tracks, you choose the artist first and test how quickly you recognise their hooks, intros, voices and production choices. Start with a favourite, challenge a friend with the same artist, or switch artists whenever you want a different kind of round.
Stay with one artist or switch it up
There is no daily limit. Keep playing through one artist’s available tracks, then choose someone new when you want to reset the sound, era or difficulty.
How previews and guesses are handled
Musicdle uses available short song previews for the artist you choose. It aims to avoid distracting versions such as live recordings, remixes, karaoke tracks and demos when building a game pool. Official collaborations are included: if a title contains “feat.”, you can still answer with the main song title. Preview availability can vary by artist, region and source, so an occasional track may not load.
Track progress by artist
The Stats button keeps two useful views: your overall Musicdle artist-game record and a separate record for the artist currently selected. It shows rounds played, wins, win rate, best score, streaks and recent results. These records are stored locally in the browser on the device you are using.
ARTIST SONG QUIZ FAQ
Questions about Guess the Song by Artist
Is Guess the Song by Artist free to play?
Yes. You can play in your browser without creating an account and continue with as many rounds as you like.
Can I choose any artist?
You can search for an artist or use a quick pick. A round can start when enough playable song previews are available for that artist.
How does scoring work?
Each round begins at 100 points. Guessing after a later reveal lowers the score, and using all five attempts without a correct answer scores zero.
Are featured artists and collaborations included?
Yes. Official featured tracks can appear in an artist’s pool. You only need to enter the main song title; you do not need to type the featured artist section.
Why did a song preview not play?
Preview availability can change by region or source. Choose the next round or try another artist if a particular preview cannot load.
Are my stats saved?
Yes, on the current browser and device. Clearing browser storage or moving to another device resets that local record.
