The seed of inspiration planted by Wordle has grown beyond the germination stage and has taken extensive roots, spawning many variants along the way. While Wordle sits at the top of the chain, its variants race against each other to join the top. For the most part, these spin-offs bring a refreshing game framework or theme to the table that keeps players engaged and hungry for more.
How do you play the Heathle music game?
Heardle is one such Wordle variant, born as a tribute to the original, but unique enough to stand on its own as an exciting alternative that the large community of music lovers can participate in.
Heardle is a guess-the-song game loosely modeled after the viral Wordle game. To be fair, Heardle could be considered an independent game in its own right, if it weren’t for the shadow of similarities that still remind you of its true origins. True to Wordle, Heardle is also a daily guessing game where players are challenged to guess the song of the day, which is revealed in rationed portions over 6 chances.
The creators of Heardle call it a "respectful homage to Wordle, with a musical twist." The tracks used in the challenge are popular songs from celebrated artists, selected based on a criterion that is partly random and partly systematic. It really tests your spontaneity to see if you have the ear to recognize a soundtrack with the least amount of clues and in the shortest amount of time.
