GridLocked is a daily pop culture guessing game created for Nigerians. Every weekday by 9am, players receive six clues, sixty seconds, and an answer that only a Nigerian would know. Today’s puzzle, 28 September 2026, features a musician. How many clues will you need to get it right? Share your result when you’re done, but don’t spoil the answer for others.

How to Play GridLocked

The goal is simple: guess the answer for the day before time runs out. The answer could be a person, place, song, movie, or even slang.

You cannot type a guess until you have revealed at least one tile. Tap any tile to reveal a clue. Every clue on the grid describes the answer for the day.

You have 60 seconds to guess correctly. The timer starts the moment you flip your first tile. You get multiple guesses.

Understanding Your Score

When the game ends, you see your guess count, total time spent, and the number of tiles flipped. The tiles are shown as white and purple squares:

• White = a tile you flipped
• Purple = a tile you kept hidden

The fewer white tiles you have, the better your result. The best possible result is a guess count of 1, meaning you needed only one clue and one guess to get it right.
