Crosstune tips and tricks

Crosstune combines crossword logic with music recognition. Use crossings, clue wording, and the audio clip together before revealing a full entry.

01

Use crossings first

If a song clue feels unfamiliar, reveal or solve a crossing answer first. A few shared letters can make the title, artist, or lyric prompt much easier.

02

Separate song and artist clues

Some entries ask for a song title, others ask for an artist name, album clue, lyric phrase, or missing word. Read the clue type before guessing.

03

Listen for the era

The audio clip can quickly reveal production style, genre, tempo, and decade even before the exact track comes to mind.

04

Reveal entries one by one

The answer grid and clue list are both blurred by default, so you can check only the entry you need without spoiling the whole crossword.
