🎯 What is Heardle Decades?

Heardle Decades is the largest Heardle-clone network on the web, run by Hey Moustache and based at heardledecades.com. The site catalogs more than a hundred distinct daily music guessing games, each themed by decade, genre, country, or artist — covering the 1950s through the 2020s, plus specialist pools for K-pop, hip-hop, country, soul, rock, prog, emo, TV themes, movie soundtracks, and dozens more.

The base format mirrors the original Heardle: listen to a snippet that starts at one second and grows with each wrong guess up to sixteen seconds, then name the song. The site's defining feature is its taxonomy — players can pick a decade-specific pool to drill (Heardle 80s, Heardle 2010s, etc.) or an artist-specific one (Heardle Taylor's Version, Heardle Bon Jovi, Heardle Led Zeppelin).

💡 How to Play Heardle Decades

Open heardledecades.com and pick a game from the menu. Each tile represents a different song pool — by decade (50s through 2020s), genre (rock, pop, hip-hop, country, K-pop, soul, etc.), country (USA No. 1s, UK No. 1s, Australia, Canada), or specific artist.
Press Play on the game you've chosen. The first snippet — usually one second — starts immediately.
Type the song title or the artist into the guess box. Suggestions cover the active pool.
Submit your guess. Correct answers end the round; wrong guesses unlock a longer snippet — each wrong guess doubles the available audio, capping at sixteen seconds.
Listen for the era. Each decade has a distinctive production style — 50s and 60s lean on live instrumentation, 80s lean on synths and gated drums, 90s and 2000s pull from digital and hip-hop production.
Share your run as an emoji grid. Each Heardle variant tracks its own streak and stats; there's no global score across games.
