As is, once a post is solved it’s revealed in the name, but this means you can’t then try to guess already solved posts - only new ones. If we reveal the answer in a spoiler in the post body instead, the sub’s historical posts will remain playable for new players to practice.

    You mean one meta solution thread for all posts which would become unwieldy very quickly and I have no idea who would manage that, or do you mean one for each post?

      Somewhere in the middle of those ideas. Perhaps a weekly solutions thread. The idea is the solution isn’t just a spoiler and we don’t even need to look directly into the thread just a permalink from the song post to the solution comment. Come to think of it, I was just assuming there is a permalink to comment feature like on that previous site that shall not be named.

        Something like this But picture the topic and the thread is solutions for this week. I found my comment permalink by brute force, it’d be nice to have that available. I’ll have to look at the source.

          TBH, that sounds like much more work than I’m able to handle. So far, the best solution seems to be changing the title to [Solved} [Genre] and in the body of the post putting the title and artist (and maybe the highlighted lyrics) in a spoiler.

          For example, my Free Fallin post would have been

          [Solved][Rock]

          spoiler

          Free Fallin’ by Tom Petty
