Reveal only the Color you need

Each category above has its own hint and its own answer, hidden separately. If green is the one holding you up, open green and leave the rest closed — solving the remaining three yourself is the entire game. If you are completely stuck, open the orange hint first. Orange is consistently the trickiest group, and clearing it usually releases the tiles that were making the other three look ambiguous.

How to play Harmonies

Harmonies gives you sixteen tiles and asks you to sort them into four groups of four. Every connection is music-related — song titles, artists, albums, lyrics, instruments, genres or the people behind the records. The rules are short:
  • Select four tiles you believe belong together and submit them.
  • A correct group locks in and reveals its category name.
  • A wrong group costs you one of your limited attempts.
  • Clear all four groups before you run out to win.
Groups are colour-coded by difficulty once solved: green is the most direct, then blue, then purple, with orange reserved for the group built on wordplay or an oblique connection rather than a plain category. A new puzzle appears every day on the App and the official website.

Why it feels harder than it looks

Harmonies is built around deliberate overlap. Several tiles will genuinely fit two categories, and only one arrangement makes all four groups work at once. That is the actual puzzle; not identifying themes, but resolving which theme owns each contested tile. A tile that seems to belong in three different groups is usually the key to the hardest one.

Five tactics that work to get Harmonies Answers Today

Solve orange first, not last. This feels backwards, but the trick category is the most rigid one. It is built on a mechanical device — songs containing a colour, artists who are also common nouns, one-word album titles; rather than a loose theme. Spot the device and four tiles leave the board at once, taking the ambiguity with them. Count your candidates before submitting. If you can name five or six tiles that fit a category, you have found the decoy, not the group. Real categories have exactly four members; an over-full theme is the puzzle telling you where the trap is. Find the tile with only one home. Work out which tile is unambiguous — it fits precisely one theme and nothing else. Lock that group in first and the contested tiles resolve themselves. Read the tile literally as well as musically. A tile reading “Bass” might belong with instruments, or with fish, or with low frequencies. Harmonies lean on these double meanings constantly. Shuffle when you stall. Rearranging the board breaks the visual grouping your brain built on first glance. It is the cheapest way to escape a wrong idea you have grown attached to.

Common traps

Artist versus song. A tile that names a band may belong to a group of song titles instead. Plenty of songs share a name with an act. The decade decoy. Four titles that all feel like they come from the same era rarely form a category. Era is too loose a connection for a Harmonies group; there is almost always a tighter link. Genre bleed. Categories built on genre are usually narrower than they appear; not “rock” but “one-hit-wonder rock bands”, for example.

Frequently asked questions

How many mistakes can I make in Harmonies?

You have a limited number of wrong attempts before the puzzle ends. Submitting only when you are confident about all four tiles matters far more than solving fast.

What time does Harmonies reset?

A new puzzle appears daily. The countdown above tracks your own clock.

Are all the connections about music?

Yes. Every category ties back to music somehow, though the link can be as loose as a shared word appearing in four song titles.

Which colour is hardest?

Orange by design, green the most straightforward. In practice, if the orange device clicks immediately, it can be the fastest group on the board.

Do I need to know current music?

It helps, but Harmonies draws across decades. Wordplay-based categories often need no music knowledge at all.
