Songless
Name a song from an opening clip as short as one tenth of a second, with each incorrect answer or skip unlocking a longer section of the same recording.
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 tenth of a second can be enough—if you know which sound matters.
Songless makes the opening sound of a recording meaningful. The staged clip lengths produce a compact trade-off between an impressive early recognition and spending attempts to hear a clearer musical phrase.
Best for
- Music listeners who recognize production, instrumentation, or vocals almost instantly.
- Players who want a daily audio puzzle with several genre lanes.
Think twice if
- People playing without sound or in a setting where audio is impractical.
The verified board starts at 0.1 seconds and exposes six answer rows. A large play control starts the current snippet, while Skip advances the reveal without requiring a speculative title.
Core play works without signing in. The interface separately offers sign-in for tracked statistics and custom games, so those account features should not be confused with access to the daily puzzle.
How to play
- Choose the all, rock, or hip-hop lane and play the initial 0.1-second snippet.
- Search for a song and submit it, or skip when the clip is too short to identify.
- Listen to the longer section unlocked after a miss and continue until the song is found or the reveal ladder ends.
