Heardle 50s is an online song guessing game inspired by the music of the 1950s—the early but brilliant era of rock 'n' roll, jazz, blues and soulful love songs. This is where you not only guess the name of the song but also enjoy the immortal singing of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Chuck Berry, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday and countless legends who laid the foundation for modern music.

Experience the music of the 1950s

Heardle 50s offers short music excerpts from classic records—from rock 'n' roll's signature swinging guitars and jazz-inspired trumpets to sweet, rustic ballads. Each play is a journey back more than 70 years, recreating the atmosphere of tea rooms, old radios and the first stages of popular music.

Each time you guess wrong or skip, the game will expand the sound by a few seconds—helping you gradually recognize the familiar melody to come up with the answer. You have 6 tries, so you need to make good use of your musical memory and sense of melody.
