Sound of Sliver in play on its music-player screen: Playing, the waveform of a 500 ms sliver of today's first song, That's your clue, above the click wheel

Sound of Sliver is a free daily name-that-tune game played through an on-screen click wheel. Each day brings a new theme and a run of songs from easy to hard; you hear a short sliver of each and pick the title from a list, and the faster you get it, the more points you keep. Past themes wait in an archive.

About Sound of Sliver

Sound of Sliver is a browser music quiz built around a daily theme. Every day the game publishes a numbered set of songs with a title, such as Bay Area Bands or 90s R&B Soundtracks, and everyone who plays that day hears the same set. The screen is styled like an old music player with a click wheel, and the game recommends headphones.

Each round plays a short slice of a song. You scroll the list of ten possible titles and select the one you think it is. A right answer keeps your points, a wrong one costs you, and taking longer or hearing more of the song leaves you fewer points, so the score rewards quick recognition. The day's set starts with easy picks and ramps up to harder ones, and you can stop at any point and keep the score you have. Some days add twists, such as covers where you name the original, samples where you name the song that used them, or tracks built up one instrument at a time.

The theme changes at 8 a.m. New York time. If a theme does not suit you, the archive lets you play earlier days, and you can lower the difficulty. It is free in the browser with no account and suits players who like Heardle but want a longer themed session.

How to play Sound of Sliver

  1. Open soundofsliver.com, put on headphones and press Start.
  2. Listen to the sliver of the first song in the day's theme.
  3. Scroll the click wheel to the title you think it is and select it.
  4. Answer quickly to keep more points; a wrong pick costs points.
  5. Carry on as the songs get harder, or stop and keep your score, then share it.

Tips

  • Read the day's theme first: it narrows the list before the first note plays.
  • If you are not sure, a wrong pick costs points, so weigh a second listen against a guess.
  • The early songs are the easy ones; bank points there before the hard end of the set.
  • Use the archive to play themes you missed.
