Heardle Decades
Heardle but you pick the era
Six one-second clips of a song, unlocked one at a time. Pick your decade — 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, or 10s — and guess as fast as you can.
Why Heardle Decades is a great Wordle alternative
Heardle Decades is a music game that builds the Wordle-style daily puzzle around songs, artists, or intros instead of vocabulary. If you enjoy Bandle or Heardle, Heardle Decades sits right next to them on the shelf.
Our take“The era-specific playlists fix the biggest Heardle complaint: you actually recognise what's playing. 80s feels curated, 2000s runs heavier on pop hits.”
- +Decade-filtered catalogs feel fair
- +Faster than full Heardle once you know the era
- +No sign-in, plays instantly
- −Song pool repeats if you play all six daily
- −Skew is still fairly western/English
you don't recognise songs from hooks alone
