Why are some songs repeated?

🏆 Scoring & Competition
How is the fuzzy matching calculated?
We use a 75% similarity threshold. If your answer is at least 75% similar to the correct answer, you'll get points!
Is there a global leaderboard?
Currently, leaderboards are per-game. We're working on seasonal competitions and persistent rankings!
How does the voice input feature work?
Click the microphone button once to start recording your answer, then click again to stop and submit. Please note: This is a beta feature that currently only supports English language. Speech recognition may be slow or inaccurate at times, and works best in Chrome or Edge browsers. The music volume will automatically lower while you're recording to improve recognition accuracy.
Why doesn't voice input work well with short words?
This is a known limitation of the Web Speech API. Single-syllable words or very short answers
(like "Prince", "Queen", "Yes", "Who") may require a brief pause after speaking for the system
to recognize them. The recognition waits about 1 second to determine if you're done speaking.
💡 Pro tip: Simply say the word twice! For example, say "Prince Prince" or
"Queen Queen". Our fuzzy matching system is smart enough to recognize this as the correct answer.
This works better than waiting and is faster than adding extra words.
