If you like blind tests, you might be hooked on Heardle since its launch this Spring. This free-to-play flash game was created recently following the trend sparked by Wordle.
While Wordle features one English word per day to guess, Heardle has the same concept, but with music. The players can find one song per day. They only have six attempts, however, and one second from the intro on the first attempt to guess it.
They can get more seconds of the intro at each attempt. After succeeding or failing, you’ll be able to hear the whole song and share your stats with your friends.
Heardle has gained much popularity over the weeks, and countless variants have been created to suit all kinds of music enthusiasts. Video games also have their Heardle versions, and here is a list.

This Heardle version is the most popular for video game music, as it covers pretty much every song that has been played in any video game.
It replicates the rules of the original Heardle game: the players have six attempts to guess the video game and the name of the song.
They can hear more seconds at each attempt, and get one new song to guess every day. It obviously focuses on the most famous and popular tunes but can feature old games, as well as recent ones.
