Daily 5: Finish the Lyric — How to Play, Tips & FAQ

Finish the Lyric gives you five quick prompts a day across decades and genres—pop, rock, country, hip-hop, R&B, alt/indie, and more.

We keep prompts fun and respectful of artists: short excerpts only, no full-song text. If you spot an issue, please let us know via the Contact page.

How it works

Five fresh prompts daily. New set appears at your local midnight.
One play per device per day. Keeps streaks & leaderboards fair.
Instant feedback. See which lyrics you nailed; get a clean results card.
Share (no spoilers). Post your card to challenge friends.

Scoring & streaks

Base score: +20 per correct; perfect-game bonus +50.
Speed tiebreaker: your completion time breaks ties.
Streaks: consecutive days add a small multiplier to base.

Strategy tips

Hook vs verse: choruses repeat—trust your memory of the hook first.
Rhyme & meter: scan the cadence; the natural rhyme often points to the right line.
Era cues: production styles (synths, 808s, guitar tones) can hint at the decade and artist.

Rotating themes

’70s classics • ’80s anthems • ’90s hits • 2000s throwbacks • recent chart-toppers • one-hit wonders • duets • stadium sing-alongs • movie/TV soundtrack moments.

Accessibility

Keyboard play with visible focus outlines.
High-contrast buttons; ARIA labels on key controls.

Editorial & usage notes

Sources: prompts are written in-house and fact-checked against public references.
Excerpt policy: short snippets only; we avoid long verbatim text and do not provide full lyrics.
Privacy: we store lightweight stats (attempts, accuracy, time) to power your results & lifetime totals.

FAQ

Can I replay the same day?

No—one play per local day keeps it fair. Come back tomorrow!

Do you use brand-new releases?

We avoid spoilers and keep excerpts short; very new songs are used sparingly.

Is there an archive?

We periodically rotate practice sets. Watch for Archive Mode on select weekends.
