Today’s Spotle #1249 Hints for September 29, 2025
Feeling stuck after your first guess? Don’t fret! Here are some clues based on the color-coded feedback to help you zero in on today’s mystery artist:
- Debut Album Year: This artist’s first official studio album was released shortly after WWII in the mid-1940s. A guess of an artist from the 70s would show a red box with a significant “down” arrow.
- Group Size: The artist is a solo act. A guess of a band or a duo would result in a red box for this category.
- Listener Rank: While this artist is deceased, their music remains incredibly popular, with a very high and enduring listener rank on streaming platforms. Your guess of a less-popular artist would show a red box.
- Gender: The artist is Male. A guess of a female artist would be incorrect.
- Genre: The primary genre for this artist is Pop, specifically traditional pop, crooning, and swing/jazz. A guess of a hip-hop or rock artist would be a miss.
- Nationality: This artist is from the United States. A guess of an artist from the UK would give you a yellow box.

How to Play Spotle
Getting started with Spotle is easy and perfect for a quick mental workout. Here’s a quick rundown of how the game works:
- Make a Guess: The game begins with a blank slate. Type in the name of any music artist you think it might be.
- Interpret the Feedback: After each guess, the game provides a set of color-coded clues for six different attributes:
- Green: The attribute is a direct match.
- Yellow: The attribute is close, but not an exact match. (e.g., debut year is within 5 years, or nationality is on the same continent).
- Red: The attribute is incorrect.
- Refine Your Guess: Use the feedback from your previous guess to make a more informed next guess. For example, if the debut year is a yellow box with a “down” arrow, you know the correct artist’s debut was earlier than your guess.
- Solve the Puzzle: You get 10 attempts to guess the mystery artist.
