We had lots of perfect scores last week, but the fastest score went to Music Enthusiast Jim S. Well done everyone.
This week you need to enter the first name of famous musicians into a grid, and spell some words. If you know most of them, you can probably figure out the last few by working out the words.

I struggled a little with a couple of ladies from the 1980s, but eventually figured them out with 24 seconds to go. I think my time was pretty slow.
Can you beat my time?

Ok, so 11/16. But this one acted kinda funky. I did the Timed one and filled in all the boxes. I was done at 1:44. But it kept counting. Then when it counted down and revealed the answer, it showed me pictures (e.g the trumpet guy) that weren’t there when I was taking the quiz. Very odd.
Maybe reload it and try again and pretend you didn’t see the answers the first time? I just tried it again now and all 16 boxes loaded for me.
Nah, that’s alright. It was fun anyway. I won last week so I’ll hand the crown to someone else.
Wait a sec. Before I start this quiz, I notice that there is a choice to do it untimed. Do you want us to choose the timed quiz or are we able to choose the untimed one?
If you want to get the fastest time go timed, but untimed is also fine.
OK cool
15/16 with 1:03 left.
Great work!
🙂 Thank you.
I got them all right but mainly through linguistic guessing as opposed to musical knowledge.
I certainly needed some linguistic guessing.
I did it timed and got 16/16 with 2:38 left on the clock. That seems very fast so I’m wondering if I missed something. I just typed in the first letter of each artist’s last name for their squares. Then each set of boxes formed words, horizontally & vertically, although I don’t know what the purpose of those words is.
I was just really slow. There were a couple I didn’t recognise so I had to puzzle them out by figuring out the words.
I got 15/16 with 1:32 minutes left. I had absolutely no idea who the third woman in the last row was, and wasn’t going to waste time venturing a guess, as no names besides Lauryn Hill or Erykah Badu were coming to me, and I knew for certain it was not either of them. Stupid me only thought of filling in the squares, completely forgetting I was also supposed to solve a crossword, so never thought of simply solving it by the process of elimination!
You would have had time to try every letter of the alphabet in there! Missy Elliott by the way.
16 – with 1:40 left!
Great work!
ok 13 of 16 when time ran out – but how are you supposed to figure out what the correct letter to the ones you got wrong are – I guess i’ll go back and take it untimed to see if I can figure out.
Ok never mind did it again and see the right letters – but still don’t know who the artists are! 🙂 2nd row, 1st and 3rd boxes; 4 row, 3rd boxes. Maybe some clues later this week once most everyone has finished it?
I don’t think anyone’s going to be reading this low for hints!
Justin Timberlake
Marvin Gaye
Missy Elliott
I knew those 3, but had trouble with some of the 1980s female artists.
Thanks! Now with names should have gotten Timberlake but not other two
Got 16/16 w/ 1:56 left, initally got 13/16 but I started to find the missing letters out of the words.
Sounds like me (but faster).
16/16
TIMER
01:32 I had problems with one of them but finally thought of her.
99 Problems but remembering a lady ain’t one?
Perfect with 0:35 seconds left but I want another try. I didn’t really read the directions before beginning (that’s on me) so I lost time off the top, then I wasted time sure that one lady was someone else, staring at it uselessly until I figured it out. I still got it, but I’ll bet I could have done better time-wise!
I thought Gloria Estafan was Kate Bush!
Not usually an easy mistake to make… I thought Paula Abdul was Jennifer Lopez probably(?)… I mean, I don’t know my pop tarts too well… lol!
16/16 WITH 2:24 LEFT. I Thought that was pretty easy…I can do easy. I suck on all the rest though.
Are you good at crosswords too?
16/16 with 2:35 left. A bizarre one, as it seemed very easy. Too easy.
Some people cruised through it very quickly, but not everyone.
Of course, aye – I was meaning that it seemed very simple compared to other quizzes… y’know? I wondered what I was missing.
