Heardle is like Wordle for pop music

If you've finished Wordle, Worldle, and Octordle and have more room in your heart for more Wordle-alikes, I suggest you try Heardle.app. It is a guessing game where you are given longer snippets of a pop song and given six tries to figure it out. It is a fun twist on the Wordle format, especially for those of us who are more interested in music than words.

Heardle gives you a skip button. It makes sense that with Wordle, you're only going to get closer to the answer by guessing a word and seeing what letters are in the correct answer. Hearing a new excerpt will give you more information even if you haven't made a guess.

Heardle has a similar sharing feature that lets you copy a series of emoji to your clipboard so you can tell people how quickly you guessed the song.

Heardle says that it pulls songs from a list of the most streamed songs in the past decade, which hopefully means you won't be stuck trying to identify a song that only has 1,000 people watching it. That makes it a lot easier to guess, without giving too much information, and I thought that today's answer might have been an ambient soundtrack song after hearing the first few seconds. I found the answer to be pretty obvious when I realized it was looking for a pop song.

Heardle is pulling the songs from Soundcloud, which is good to hear, while Wordle has all its answers stored in a text file, which is a good way to get the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. I think Heardle is the game I end up checking back in with every day. Heardle is a way for me to prove that I am good at game shows like Name that Tune or Beat Shazam.
