HEARDLE, yes, you got it right; its HEARDLE and not HURDLE, as it might sound. This game is getting extremely popular these days, and if you are someone who is not some sort of ride-or-die for music, then this is a new buzz for you, and let me make you aware that Heardle is no less than addictive, so once you start with it, there might be no looking back. Thus, to help you with the same, here’s everything you need to check out to know more about Heardle.
Heardle is one of the seven spin-off games inspired by the popular word game Wordle. It was launched in February 2022 by a London-based web and app designer whose identity has never been revealed. Initially, Heardle was run on the online audio and music sharing platform SoundCloud, and now we have already explored its access, which lets us enjoy the game that has become so popular.
Spotify bought Heardle in July 2022 for an undisclosed amount. The vision of Spotify in doing so is to integrate such interactive apps so as to enhance user experience and interaction, but as of now, Heardle is the one such website application that Spotify has, which is free for all.
Let’s dig deep into the interesting world of Heardle.
What is the Heardle Game?
Heardle is a new music game that can be played through a website app where you listen to the introduction of a song, and through that, you have to guess the artist of the song and, of course, the title as well. The main aim of the game is to use as less chunks of the song as possible and guess the correct title and artist in less time. The song’s title and artist have to be guessed in maximum of six attempts, and every skip or failure of guess leads to more and more unlocking of the song’s parts. A duration of sixteen seconds is given in every six attempts to guess the correct artist and title of the following song. The songs that are chosen for the game are all the most streamed songs in the last decade.
Once you think that you know the name of the song, you can type it into the answer bar. The Heardle game gives a little bit of help by auto-filling the songs that it could possibly be as you type. If the name of the song you are thinking of doesn’t pop up then it’s incorrect because it’s not in the Heardle music game system. The Heardle app keeps track of how many games you have played, your wins and streaks, and also allows you to post your results on social media so that you can show your performance if you like, flex or let people know, however you take it, but it’s good that you have the freedom to do so you like.
The main concern is that, no matter the help you get from the app or its algorithm you should have prior knowledge of music in order to ace the game. If you have such knowledge which gets combined with the algorithm’s help function, holistically it would be a great thing to put your time in, as it would give a sense of interest and also prove to be soothing very especially to music lovers, admirers of tunes and instruments, who get to play along with their favourite tunes, and what can get better than that.
How to Play The Viral Music Game?
If you are thinking about it or if you have already searched for it, let me tell you that there is no Heardle application available for you to install and play the exciting game. All you can do to access it is reach out to its website, called (heardle.app). In order to enjoy this game, you just need to reach out to the website via your phone, tablet, laptop, or computer and have a good time syncing with this musical amusement.
Rules of the game
Wondering how to play Heardle? Or what are the rules of the game? Here we are to explore the same. Playing Heardle is pretty straightforward; the app and the game integrate with Spotify, which provides you with a large range of music to choose from.
The Heardle music game is only available via the official website, and there is no app to download it. A new song is being posted every day, so everyone predicts the same song each day. Now, let’s understand the rules of the game one by one.
- In order to start the game, press play button and the moment you do so you will be given a second introduction of the song.
- Using the search section type the song you think it is. If you don’t know, you can press skip to unlock more of the song, or if you guess incorrectly, you will still unlock more of the song, the only way to avoid it is to choose the correct one.
- In the second attempt you hear two seconds, then four seconds, seven seconds, then eleven seconds and finally 16 seconds to guess the song.
- Now after these many attempts, you still do not get the answer, you technically loose the game.
Colours at the end: What does it mean?
At the end of the game you can select share to copy the game representation to save it in your clipboard, where you can share it on social media such as facebook, twitter, whatsapp etc. but still there is no feature to share it on instagram.
The red squares are incorrect guesses, the dark grey squares are your skips, green is the correct guess and white is unused guesses. It’s great that you can share your answers with others and the colours would make it clear about your responses without any confusion.
General know-abouts
As of now, we know a lot about Heardle, the new buzz in games. Here we are to know a bit about some general skeptics people might have regarding Heardle. It is not linked to Wordle in any direct sense, Heardle is just inspired by the concept of Wordle and secondly, they both have rhyming pronunciation. Other than that both the games are different as Heardle is a music game, on the other hand Wordle is a word game.
