Heardle: Wordle-inspired daily song intro puzzle game goes viral

If you're a pro at the music round at your local pub quiz, have we found a new Wordle inspired game for you to try out.

With Wordle and its subsequently inspired games Worldle and Nerdle having taken off many of us are looking for another daily puzzle to take part in.

Enter Heardle, a six-go guessing game that challenges you to guess a popular song based on its intro.

The free-to-play game is powered by Soundcloud and is attracting millions of players who are trying to guess the intro in as little time as possible.

Its creators say: "A respectful homage to Wordle, with a musical twist.

"Each Heardle is semi-randomly plucked from a long list of popularly streamed artists. Much love, and all relevant copyright, to those featured.

"Heardle was made for a small group of friends, then somehow gained millions of players overnight. Please be kind."

How to play Heardle, the Wordle-inspired song guessing game

The daily song intro guessing game is available to play for free via https://www.heardle.app/

At first, players are asked to give an answer after hearing just one second of the song's intro.

They can either choose to attempt an answer or skip to hear more of the song - players get up to six guesses, each failed attempt unlocks an extra second of the song.

As with Wordle, Heardle players can post their score - shown through coloured blocks - to social media. They can also build up winning streaks, which are recorded.

A new Heardle is posted every day.
