dividing the plurality of first song lyrics into corresponding lyric blocks; encoding, via a phonetic color-number pairing, each lyric block by determining a first consonantal sound of each lyric, associating the first consonantal sound with a predetermined color-number pairing, and color-coding a plurality of corresponding lyric blocks based on the predetermined color-number pairing; generating structured grids comprised of the corresponding color-coded lyric blocks and displaying the structured grids via client devices. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A non-transitory computer readable medium having a set of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to carry out an operation, the operation comprising the steps of: ingesting, via an application programming interface integrated with one or more music streaming platforms, metadata associated with a first song from the one or more music streaming platforms, the metadata associated with the first song including at least a plurality of first song lyrics; dividing, via one or more natural language processing tools, the plurality of first song lyrics into a first plurality of corresponding lyric blocks; encoding, via a phonetic color-number pairing, each of the first plurality of corresponding lyric blocks by: determining a first consonantal sound of each of the plurality of first song lyrics, associating the first consonantal sound with a predetermined color-number pairing, and color-coding each of the first plurality of corresponding lyric blocks based on the predetermined color-number pairing; generating one or more structured grids comprised of the first plurality of corresponding color-coded lyric blocks; and displaying the one or more structured grids via one or more client devices. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the one or more structured grids are a 7×7 grid comprised of the first plurality of color-coded lyric blocks. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the phonetic color-number pairing pairs: first consonantal sounds associated with K, G, J, and CH with a yellow-one pairing; first consonantal sounds associated with M and N with a grey-two pairing; first consonantal sounds associated with T, D, and TH with a red-three pairing; first consonantal sounds associated with R and L with a blue-four pairing; first consonantal sounds associated with Y, W, H, and KH with a green-five pairing; first consonantal sounds associated with P, B, F, and V with a purple-six pairing; and first consonantal sounds associated with S, Z, and SH with a brown-seven pairing. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the one or more natural language processing tools are comprised of at least one of NLTK and spaCy. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein analyzing the first consonantal sound of each of the plurality of first song lyrics is performed by a processor of the processing device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 5, wherein the processor accesses one or more phonetic mapping tables stored in a data storage of the processing device to perform consonantal sound identification on each of the plurality of first song lyrics. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, further comprising: storing in a database, the one or more structured grids for subsequent retrieval. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, further comprising: receiving a search query for a second song, the search query comprising a numerical sequence corresponding to a color-number pairing of a first row of a 7×7 grid comprised of a second plurality of color-coded lyric blocks. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8, further comprising: retrieving the second song upon receipt of the search query.
