Heardle is a game where you can play a guess-the-song game every day. The idea for the heardlegame came from the game Wordle, in which you have to guess a five-letter word in six tries or less by putting in letters and seeing if they are in the word or not. Heardle takes this idea and uses it to music by making you guess songs instead of letters.

How do you play Heardle?

You need a computer with a web browser and an internet connection to play Heardle. The game can be reached. You will have to guess a different song every day. The song was picked from the most streamed songs on Soundcloud over the last ten years, so it should be pretty well known. At first, you will only hear a short bit of the song, generally just one second. You need to type in the song's title and singer in the box below. As you type, possible matches will show up that you can choose from. If the song you're trying to guess isn't in the database, you won't be able to choose it. This keeps you from making guesses that are wrong and gives you more clues.

There are six chances for you to get the song right. Every time you guess wrong or skip a try, up to 30 seconds will be added to the clip. The point is to figure out the song as quickly and with as few guesses as possible. Once you guess the song right or run out of tries, you'll see your score and how many people have played and guessed the song that day. You can also share your results on social media using the familiar colored blocks that show how many times you tried. If you play on the same device every day, you can also keep track of your runs.

Why is Heardle fun to play and hard to stop?

There are a lot of reasons why Heardle is a fun and addicting game. First, it's fun for music fans who like to see how well they know and remember music. It also lets them hear songs they might not have heard before or might have forgotten. Second, it forces them to listen to songs in a new way by making them focus on the beginning and try to figure out what song it is from a short clip. It also makes them think about the song's title and singer, which isn't always easy to see or remember.
