The original Heardle shut down in 2023. Heardle.fun continues the format — guess songs from one-second clips, free, no account, no Spotify Premium required. Pick any artist and play.
Heardle launched in early 2022 as a Wordle-style music guessing game. Spotify acquired it later that year and shut it down on July 5, 2023. Fans were left without a working version of the game they played daily — and search interest for "heardle alternative" has grown ever since.
Heardle.fun was built to keep the format alive. Same one-second snippet mechanic, same fast-guess feel, but expanded across hundreds of artists instead of a single daily song.
Pick an artist to play their dedicated Heardle. Each page has its own catalog, difficulty progression, and structured data so you can jump straight into a one-second song quiz.
Each round starts with a one-second clip from a real song. Identify it as fast as you can.
Don't know it? Skip to reveal a longer clip. Each skip costs points, just like the original Heardle.
Submit and build streak multipliers. Fast correct guesses earn speed bonuses on top of base score.
Several sites have tried to fill the gap left by the original Heardle. Most are limited to a single daily song or require a Spotify Premium login. Heardle.fun is different: it's free forever, doesn't require a Spotify account, and covers hundreds of artists rather than one shared daily round.
If you searched for "new Heardle", "Heardle is back", or "Heardle replacement", this is what you're looking for.
Heardle.fun keeps the elements that made the original work: the one-second clip, the skip-for-longer mechanic, the dopamine of guessing a track from almost nothing. It expands the format with per-artist song quizzes so you can specialize in your favorites instead of being stuck with whatever song the day served.
