Solving some anagrams can force the intrusive music out of your working memory, allowing it to be replaced with other more amenable thoughts, scientists said. However, trying anything too difficult seemed to have little effect, the Telegraph reported.
"The key is to find something that will give the right level of challenge. If you are cognitively engaged, it limits the ability of intrusive songs to enter your head," said Dr Ira Hyman, a music psychologist at Western Washington University who conducted the research.
"Something we can do automatically like driving or walking means you are not using all of your cognitive resource, so there is plenty of space left for that internal jukebox to start playing," Hyman said.
"Likewise, if you are trying something too hard, then your brain will not be engaged successfully, so that the music can come back. You need to find that bit in the middle where there is not much space left in the brain. That will be different for each of us," she said.
Hyman and her colleagues conducted a series of tests on volunteers by playing them popular songs in an attempt to find out how tunes can become stuck in long-term memory.
The researchers tested whether solving puzzles such as anagrams would help to reduce the recurrence of earworms. Anagrams were found to be successful in tackling ear -worms and the team also discovered that solving those with five letters gave the best results.
