About Relatle

Relatle is a daily music path game. Every artist in it comes with a short list of related artists, the other acts their fans often listen to, and the day's puzzle asks you to travel from one artist to another using only those links. Each tap moves you one artist along, and your score is the number of steps it took.

You can press and hold any artist to hear a sample of their music, which helps when you do not know a name. If a path is going nowhere you can reset back to the start, take a hint, or give up, though giving up shows in your shared result. When you finish, the game shows the shortest path that existed, how your score compares with the global distribution for that matchup, and your streak and all-time stats.

Beyond the daily matchup you can create a custom game between any two artists and send the link to friends, and there is a list of top custom games and an archive of past matchups. Stats can be moved between devices with a transfer code. The credits name Karim Kaylani as creator and Zade Kaylani as designer.

It suits listeners with wide taste: the quickest routes often cross genres through an artist who sits between two scenes.

How to play Relatle

1. Open Relatle to see the day's starting artist and target artist.
2. Tap one of the related artists shown under the starting artist.
3. Keep tapping related artists to move closer to the target.
4. Reset or take a hint if your path drifts away from the target.
5. Reach the target, then compare your step count with the shortest path and other players.

Tips

• Think about which genre the target sits in and head towards it early, rather than going deeper into the starting artist's scene.
• Press and hold an unfamiliar artist to hear a sample before you commit to them.
• Artists who collaborate across genres often make good bridges.
• A reset costs nothing but adds to your reset count, so use it when you are clearly off course.
