Today’s Spotle #1256 Hints for October 6, 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 debut major music release (an EP) came out in the year 2015. A guess of an artist from the late 90s would show a red box with a significant “up” arrow.

This was a good challenge for those who follow celebrity-turned-musicians or the pop charts of the mid-2010s. The combination of the exact 2015 debut year, the solo female status, and the high-ranking pop popularity were the key clues to finding the answer. I’d give this puzzle a 5 out of 5 for being a solid test of a major commercial rock profile.
