First, Wordle, then its spinoff musical, Heardle, now gets a hip-hop spinoff. The new game, Ya Heardle, follows the same format as the original Heardle. ’90s R&B and hip-hop fans can finally guess throwback songs in as few tries as possible. Sean Campbell created the new edition. Campbell says that he started on the game quickly after getting instructions from the Reddit community.
“I went on the Heardle Reddit page, and someone linked to instructions to make your own version on Glitch, Campbell said. He continued to speak about his inspiration for making the game. “I wanted a version for songs that were probably never going to make their database, he says. He continues, “I was going to do only hip-hop, but mixing it with R&B gives me more songs to work with and makes it a little harder.” The latest answer is 2Pac’s “If My Homie Calls.” Hip-Hop and R&B fans can play the new game here.
Other Editions
There are over 100 different variations of Heardle. Like Campbell mentioned, Zayn, there are also ones for Doja Cat, Taylor Swift, BTS, Billie Eilish, and many others. It has even extended to video game soundtracks as well. These include Final Fantasy 14, Zelda, and Guild Wars 2. With music, words, and video games, there are also some variants in other industries.
Film Inspired Heardles
There are also film editions for the moviegoers. The game is Box Office Mega. Players get a specific week of a box office weekend and have to guess the five top films that weekend. There is also one called Framed. After looking at different pictures from a movie, players are also given five guesses to guess what the film is. It would not be surprising to see more created for other industries at this rate. It provides a sense of community to fans of specific works, musicians, and films. More variants will come soon enough.
