FAQ

Trackronym is a daily acrostic playlist game. Each day gives you a word, and every letter is a slot in your playlist. Fill each slot with a song whose title starts with that letter to spell out the whole word.

The cards below the playlist are optional bonuses. Matching a bonus's criteria with your song choices earns its star (★). They're not required to finish a puzzle — they're just for bragging rights.

Yes. Your song choices for each day are stored in your browser, so a refresh won't lose your progress. Because it's stored locally, progress doesn't carry across different devices or browsers.

Yes. Open the menu and choose History to review or continue any previous day. Each entry links straight back to that day's puzzle.

Technically, yes — if you find a way to access a future day before it's officially released. But future days are still subject to change as the project develops, so there's no guarantee its word or star bonuses will be the same once the day actually releases. Once released, a day's word and bonuses are locked in and shouldn't change again.

No. Trackronym is intended to remain free, without ads, subscriptions, paid features, or the sale of personal data.

Song search is powered by Deezer, which also provides the song titles and cover art you see. The rest of each track's details — artist, album, release year, and genre — come from the MusicBrainz database. Trackronym isn't affiliated with or endorsed by either.

Release years normally come from the MusicBrainz database. When MusicBrainz doesn't have a particular song, its year is instead estimated from a code embedded in the track's ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) — an asterisk (*) marks these as estimates, since that code can occasionally reflect when a recording was catalogued rather than when it was originally released.

No. Trackronym doesn't require an account, and it doesn't ask for or collect any personal information about you.

Your puzzle progress and display preferences are saved only in your browser's local storage on your device. This data never leaves your browser, and clearing your browser data will remove it.

Trackronym doesn't set tracking cookies. We use GoatCounter to see aggregate visit counts, which is cookie-free and doesn't track you across sites or store any personal data.

When you search for a song, your search text is sent to Deezer, which returns matching songs, their titles, and cover images. Each match's recording identifier (an ISRC) is then sent to MusicBrainz to look up its artist, album, release year, and genre. Each of these services receives that request under its own privacy policy; Trackronym doesn't store any of it.
