Every clue is a 30-second song preview, and the answer is the artist, the title or the album. Everyone gets the same puzzle and plays under a generated nickname such as "Velvet Bassline". Scores go on a daily board and a weekly table.

A daily cron job builds each puzzle from a themed Deezer playlist and skips tracks used in the last 90 days. Then Jev, a model from TypeSafe AI, scores each candidate answer: would this crowd name it from a 30-second clip? Answers under 0.5 are dropped.
