The daily music guessing game
WhatSong is a free music guessing game: three clips to identify every day, five guesses each. Every clip is hand-picked by a DJ, and it is not always the intro of the track.

Heardle, the daily game that had you name a song from its opening seconds, was acquired by Spotify and shut down in May 2023. Songless carries the same idea. If you want that daily format, WhatSong comes close — with three clips a day instead of one, hand-picked by an actual DJ, and not always the intro of the track.
What sets WhatSong apart
Three tracks a day
Not one daily clip but three, unlocked one after the other.
Hand-picked by a DJ
Every clip is chosen by a real DJ, track by track. Nothing is pulled automatically from a catalogue.
Not always the intro
A clip does not necessarily start at the beginning of the song — it might be the chorus, a bridge or a solo. Recognising the opening seconds is not enough.
French and international
The selection mixes French tracks with international hits — not only French-language music.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a music guessing game?
- It is a game where you identify a song from an audio clip alone, with nothing written down. On WhatSong you have to name the title and the artist of three different clips every day.
- Is there a Heardle alternative?
- Heardle shut down in May 2023 after Spotify acquired it. WhatSong picks up the same daily-guessing idea: three clips a day instead of one, hand-picked by a DJ, and not always the intro of the track.
- Is there an alternative to Songless?
- WhatSong offers the same daily format as Songless. The difference is mostly in the selection: three clips a day, each chosen by a real DJ, and not always the intro of the track.
- Who picks the tracks?
- A real DJ, by hand, track by track. The selection mixes French songs with international hits, and the clip is not always taken from the intro.
- How many guesses do I get per song?
- Five per track, so fifteen in total across the day’s three tracks. You can also skip a track, but its answer is then revealed.
- Can I replay previous challenges?
- Yes. The archive collects every past challenge, day by day, and you can replay them at your own pace. A free account is all you need.
- Is the game free?
- Entirely. The daily challenge is free to play, with no intrusive ads and no subscription.
- Do I need an account to play?
- No. You can play the daily challenge without one. Creating an account — also free — keeps your streak, your history and your leaderboard place.
- When does the new challenge go live?
- A new challenge is published every day at midnight, Paris time.
