I grew up thinking I had perfect pitch, after a youth choir director identified it and realized I could name all the notes from a random key played on the piano. Later in life, tho…

I was pondering how to make software engineering feel more fun.

Pre-ordered! I noticed in the marketing photos that there was a keyboard, but it's not included in the pre-order bundle. Is there a recommended keyboard for the Daylight that's wir…

Yep! There should be a "backspace" key on the right end of the piano keyboard on mobile. I also just updated the mobile CSS today so you should see more of the keyboard at once, wh…

Thanks for the report! I've noticed that 1) silent mode and 2) not wearing headphones sometimes causes the muting, but I'm still trying to figure out why exactly some iPhones seem …

Thanks for your note! > One feedback is that I would like to be able to play more times a day. We will consider making the previous days' songs available to play. > Finally, I pers…

Thanks for playing! If you click the "info" icon on the header of the page, you'll get the info box again! We used the same green/yellow/grey colors as the original Wordle game, bu…

Indeed! I first heard this on TikTok and couldn't resist putting it into the database of songs.

> Maybe remove the option to replay your own melody before submitting. reply This is available in "hard" mode!

Thanks for the comment! You are maybe the fifth person to mention the octaves, haha. At the moment, I'm starting to think something like: Easy mode: we give you the octave guardrai…

No big downside; it will just take some refactoring of the code, and I originally hesitated to have three letters in an input box since two letters (e.g. an A#) already fills up a …

Definitely not cheating; that's exactly how you should play the puzzle! :) It's all about listening and comparing, and listening and comparing again. If you're playing in "normal" …

> On a phone, scroll the keyboard on the x-axis and make it full width of the screen. Thanks for the feedback! > leave the keys that have been used colored like in the original wor…

Nice job! :)

Do you mind sharing which browser + iOS version you're using on your iPhone? And is the issue the design or that the music isn't outputting when you try to play?

Nice! I just checked out their game -- yes, very similar. Would you prefer to play a "super hard" mode with disabled pitch and no backspace (and 8 tiles and only 3 listens), or the…

I am regretting the name choice a little, lol. Originally we just called it "musical wordle" but we didn't want to infringe copyright with "wordle", and we liked the alliteration i…

> add a 4th color for correct note, wrong octave. I really like this idea! Maybe the 4th color will be pale green (aka you're close) > Another recommendation: make an easy mode in …

Thanks for your feedback about the octaves! There is one question that I haven't entirely figured out how to ask but am curious about -- if we let you adjust the octaves, and if yo…

Sorry for the confusion here -- you're not the first to ask, but the TLDR is that you can't (right now)! We do hope to allow octave selection in a future "practice" mode where you'…

Ah -- can you share which browser you're on? I hadn't heard of any bugs with instrument selection so far (until your comment). Thanks! > I think the easy mode could be easier - peo…

> There should be a hard mode where there are no pitches generated while choosing notes. I challenge you to the "bird_tweet" instrument in "hard" mode, lol. The bird tweet notes ar…

@aidos Did you try "hard" mode, out of curiosity? If that's still easy, maybe an "impossible" mode with 3 listens, 8 tiles, and no backspaces is something we can do...

> It seems to adjust octaves for you automatically, but that's not at all clear. Thanks for mentioning it! I really struggled with this octaves decision, and wrote about it here: h…
