Heardle is a website where you can play a daily game of musical guessing. The game is based on the concept of Wordle, a game where you have to guess a five-letter word in six tries or less by typing in letters and getting feedback on whether they are in the word or not. Heardle takes this idea and applies it to music: instead of letters, you have to guess songs.
How to play Heardle?

To play Heardle, you need a device with a web browser and an internet connection. You can access the game at heardle-wordle.com. Every day, you will be presented with a new song to guess. The song is chosen from the most streamed songs on Soundcloud over the last decade, so they should be relatively well known. You will only hear a short clip of the song at first, usually one second long. You have to type in the title and the artist of the song in the input box below. As you type, you will see some possible matches that you can select from. If the song you are guessing is not in the database, you will not be able to select it. This helps you avoid incorrect guesses and gives you more hints.

You have six chances to guess the song correctly. Each time you guess wrong or skip a try, you will get more time added to the clip, up to 30 seconds. The goal is to guess the song as quickly as possible with as few tries as possible. Once you guess the song correctly or run out of tries, you will 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 indicate how many tries you took. You can also keep track of your streaks if you play from the same device every day.
