What is Heardle?
Heardle is a musical game designed by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle. The game is inspired by the widely popular word game called Wordle, which Wardle designed during the pandemic. The only difference is that instead of a five-letter word, players need to guess the name of the song artist. Apart from this, the game retains similar features – once-a-day gameplay, available only browsers, and no app-based options for iOS and Android.


Wardle created Wordle as a gist for his wife. However, the such emotional background behind Heardle is not known. As Wordle gained sensational popularity during the pandemic, it was acquired by The New York Times. Similarly, Heardle was also acquired recently by a giant streaming corporation, Spotify.



How to Play Heardle?
Players can access Heardle only via desktop or mobile browsers by following this link. After its recent acquisition, Heardle has permanently migrated to Spotify’s website. Once on the website, you can listen to the first second of the song and start guessing it.

If you fail to guess the artist’s name correctly in six attempts, you lose the game, and the correct answer will pop up on the screen.
