Songless FAQ

Songless is a song guessing game: you hear a tiny clip of a song and try to name it in as few seconds as possible. On songless.info you can play a free Daily Ladder of five hit songs from the 1980s to today, or keep going in Songless Unlimited.

A new Daily Ladder unlocks every day at 00:00 UTC. Everyone gets the same five songs, so you can compare scores with friends.

Each song starts as a 1-second clip. Skipping or guessing wrong stretches it to 3, 6 and then 12 seconds. You score 100, 70, 40 or 20 points depending on which clip you solve it on, for a maximum of 500 per ladder.

The Daily Ladder is five fixed songs per day, the same for everyone. Songless Unlimited picks random songs for as long as you keep guessing them right, so you can play as much as you like.

Your streak ends when you miss a song after all four clips (1, 3, 6 and 12 seconds). Skipping does not end it, as long as you get the song before the last clip runs out.

Yes. Tap the filter button above the player to choose decades (80s to 2020s) and genres such as pop, rock, hip-hop or country. Changing them starts a new streak.
