What is Songless?+
Songless is a free daily music guessing game where you identify a song from an extremely short audio clip — starting at just 0.1 seconds. Each wrong guess or skip reveals a longer clip, up to the full song. You get 6 guesses per day, with a brand-new puzzle dropping every 24 hours.
Is Songless the best Heardle alternative?+
Yes — Songless is widely considered the top Heardle alternative after Spotify shut Heardle down in 2022. Like Heardle, you guess songs from short audio snippets with more revealed after each miss. Songless goes further with genre-specific categories (All, Rock, Hip Hop), a harder 0.1-second starting clip, and built-in streak tracking.
How do you play Songless?+
Press the green play button to hear the audio snippet, then search for the song in the search box and submit your guess. Wrong? Click Skip to unlock a longer clip. Unlock audio in stages: 0.1s → 0.5s → 1s → 2s → 5s → full song. Guess the song in as few attempts as possible to win.
Is Songless free to play?+
Completely free — no account, no subscription, no download. Open songless.app in any browser and start playing. Your progress and streak are saved automatically in your browser.
How many guesses do you get in Songless?+
Six guesses per puzzle. Each guess or skip unlocks a progressively longer audio clip: 0.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, and finally the full song.
What genres does Songless include?+
Three daily categories: All (popular hits across all genres), Rock, and Hip Hop. Each is an independent puzzle with its own daily song — so dedicated listeners can play three games per day.
When does a new Songless puzzle come out?+
A new Songless puzzle releases every day at midnight UTC. Come back daily to keep your win streak alive.
Does Songless save my streak and stats?+
Yes. Songless tracks your win streak, best streak, total games played, and win rate — all stored locally in your browser without requiring an account. Your progress persists as long as you use the same browser.
Can I play Songless on my phone?+
Yes — Songless is fully optimized for mobile browsers on iOS and Android. No app download needed, just open songless.app in Safari or Chrome.
