How to Play Spotle (If You’re New or Need a Refresher)
You get 10 chances to guess the correct artist. No starting hints—just type any name and see what sticks.
After each guess, Spotle gives you color-coded feedback based on genre, era, popularity, and artist connections:
- Green – You nailed it. This attribute matches today’s artist.
- Yellow – Close but not exact. Think debut year or nationality.
- Red – Nope. Try another direction.
Pro tip: Start by figuring out if it’s a solo artist or a band. Then narrow down the debut decade using familiar names from each era. Once you’ve got the time period, zero in on the genre and similar artists.
