What Heardle was

Heardle was a daily game where you named a song from its first second, with a little more of it after each wrong guess. Spotify bought it in 2022 and closed it on 5 May 2023.

How Sonik's game differs

Sonik's daily mystery song is played from a radio buried in static. You can guess any song, and each guess shows how close it sounds to the mystery song, because Sonik compares the audio itself. The closer you get, the clearer the radio gets. You have 8 guesses, a clue every two, a streak to keep, and a result to share without spoilers.

Where clip games are better

If what you want is to name a song from its opening notes, clip games like Songless test that more directly. Sonik's is more of a hunt: you can get there by knowing what things sound like, not just by knowing the song.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up. Everyone gets the same song, and a new one starts at midnight.
