Common mistakes
- BPM above 120 for calm puzzle — feels stressful
- Forgetting
no vocals— Suno sings and breaks focus - Too many lead instruments — puzzle BGM needs one melodic voice max
- Minor key for cozy puzzle — kills the cozy mood
- No
seamless loop— long sessions get jarring at the loop point

FAQ
Q: Why does my puzzle BGM feel too “busy”?
A: Probably too many lead instruments. Pick one — marimba OR ukulele OR piano — and let the rest be pads. Puzzle BGM is about texture, not melody fight.
Q: How long should the loop be?
A: 60–90 seconds is the sweet spot. Long enough not to feel repetitive in 5 minutes, short enough to keep generation quality high.
Q: My BGM has vocals even with no vocals — fix?
A: Add instrumental only and no lead vocals both. Suno occasionally adds humming — no humming helps.
Q: Mobile match-3 vs cozy farm — what changes?
A: Mobile match-3 = bouncy synth-pop, 110 BPM, bright bell accents. Cozy farm = marimba and piano, 90 BPM, warm acoustic feel.
Q: Can I use Suno BGM in a mobile puzzle game commercially?
A: Depends on Suno tier (Pro / Premier usually allow commercial use). Always check current Suno ToS.
