How it works
How do I score points?
Each song is worth up to 600 points. Guess after the first emoji clue for 600, or reveal more clues to make it easier. You get 500, 400, 300, 200, or 100 points depending on when you guess.
Are the daily songs the same for everyone?
Yes. Everyone gets the same three songs in the same order each UTC day. No account is needed, and your progress stays on your device.
Does Song Guesser play music?
