Crosstune
Listen to short music clips, identify songs or artists, and enter the answers into an interconnected daily crossword where crossing letters support harder clues.
The official game is loaded above. If it does not respond, open the publisher’s site in a new tab.
Why it stands out
A recognized track can unlock an entirely different corner of the grid.
Crosstune connects music knowledge instead of presenting isolated clips. A track you recognize can provide the exact letters needed to identify a much less familiar sample.
Best for
- Music fans who enjoy identifying tracks from short excerpts and partial titles.
- Crossword solvers who want crossing letters to support audio trivia.
Think twice if
- Players who need a silent puzzle or do not want music knowledge to determine progress.
Each numbered entry has its own audio control and clue text. Some prompts ask for a full song title, while others request an artist or a missing phrase, so the grid varies the type of music recall it tests.
Check and Reveal controls are available, but the crossing structure is the more satisfying assistance system. Solving a known track produces letters that can turn an unrecognized clip into a constrained answer.
How to play
- Start the dated crossword and select an across or down clue on the grid.
- Play the attached music snippet and identify the requested song title, artist, or missing phrase.
- Enter answers into the grid, use crossing letters for support, and check or reveal only when needed.
