Disclosure: a friend is a co-creator on this.

It’s a two-part puzzle, where a tune is played, and the answer relates to the tune (but is not the name of the tune).

There are two sets of tunes you can pick from, and it’s much friendlier to an old fart like me than Heardle is.

Okay, I’ll add this into the daily “wordle variants” rotation for now, see how it goes…

Yes it was, and I bitched at my friend about that.

For the “classics” today:

I had to get all of the notes, then I recognized it. Was the “subject” the person the piece was originally written about or the person that co-opted it? I assumed the former and got it wrong, but there were a couple of ways to describe the weapon and I may have chosen wrong.

9

It’s a very famous opera by Rossini.

William Tell (opera) - Wikipedia

The tune is from the overture.

10

I know. I’m also familiar with the most famous event related to the subject. I still missed the weapon though. Probably just didn’t type it in the way they wanted

11

it’s just three letters.

12

That’s what I was thinking. If it’s the three letters I’m thinking of, I don’t like it. That’s not a great weapon by itself.

Today’s classics criddle again was, imo, overly picky about the answer (none of the accepted answers included arrow )

Annoyed at this one. I submitted “3 bags” as my first guess and it wasn’t accepted. “3” was accepted as my second guess…

I’m going to bitch at him for this one – they really haven’t thought through how to parse the language (what to require/ignore) – as with the 3/3 bags problem above.

FWIW, I have been forwarding the complaints to the makers about needing to expand acceptable answers

8 notes total (+3 clicks) on each.

Kind of fun, like it more than Heardle. Probably not returning daily. Feel like its lifespan is limited but maybe I’d be surprised .

18

Yeah, I don’t know if they’re going to do much with it.

My friend tries a variety of ideas - he’s a composer who has done work on film, video games, traditional music composition, musicals for kids, etc. So maybe this was just a quick idea one of his game friends worked with him on.

This is my friend:

Yes, his music was used on Birdemic 2:

I am 0 for 2.

The first one, I was uninitiated.

But today I recognized the song as Battle Hymn of the Republic. The clue is what’s been seen? Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord. I went with “the coming of the lord” and then “the lord” and I wash out. This is too nebulous as to what the question is asking.
