help Heardle FAQ
How did the music-guessing game Heardle work?
Heardle challenged players to identify a different pop or rock song every day by listening to increasingly longer audio clips. The game started with just one second of the track's intro, awarding more points to players who guessed correctly on the earliest clips.
Is Heardle still available to play on Spotify?
No, although Spotify acquired the popular music game in 2022, the streaming platform officially shut it down in early 2023. The game is no longer hosted on the official Heardle website.
Where did Heardle originally source its music database from before the Spotify acquisition?
Before the acquisition, the game pulled its short audio snippets from a pool of randomly streamed songs via SoundCloud. This setup occasionally caused slight loading delays depending on the user's internet speed.
Who created Heardle, and when was it released?
Heardle was created by a group of anonymous developers in early 2022 as a direct homage to the massive success of Wordle. It quickly went viral due to its nostalgic appeal and the universal love for music trivia.
