Is Songless the same as Heardle?

It is the same format — intro-length audio, more seconds per wrong guess — built by Lessgames rather than the original Heardle team.

Music & song guessing

Songless — Guess the song from a one-second intro

Songless is the song guessing game most people mean when they say 'that Heardle-style game'. You get the very start of a track — a single second at first — and have to name it. Every skip or wrong answer unlocks a little more audio, so a clean first-second guess is worth bragging about and a sixth-attempt save still counts. It runs in the browser with nothing to install and has a shareable result grid, which is why it turns up so often on stream and in group chats.

Songless is hosted on lessgames.com. This button opens it in a new tab.
