If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a blank grid, desperately trying to remember whether that one indie folk artist dropped their first album in 2017 or 2018, you already know the struggle.
Spotle is basically Wordle for music lovers—except instead of guessing five-letter words, you’re hunting for artists. Sounds simple? It’s not. I’ve burned hours on a single puzzle, especially because Spotle gives you zero clues about the actual music. No lyrics. No album art. Just you and your brain.
If today’s Spotle has you stuck, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Below, you’ll find hints—and if you need it, the full answer—for April 5.

How To Play Spotle (If You’re New Here)
Here’s the short version: You get 10 chances to guess the correct artist. No starting hints. You just type in an artist’s name, and Spotle tells you how close you are based on things like genre, era, popularity, and connections between artists.
The feedback is color-coded:
- Green = That attribute matches today’s artist exactly.
- Yellow = Close, but not perfect (e.g., debut year is off by a bit, or nationality is similar but wrong).
- Red = Nope.
A smart strategy:
- Start by guessing if the artist is a solo act or a band.
- Narrow down the debut year using popular artists from each decade.
- Then think about other artists from that same time period and genre.
Once it clicks, it’s incredibly satisfying. And on days it doesn’t? That’s exactly why we post these hints.
Keep guessing. You’ve got this.
