About Kpop Heardle
Kpop Heardle is the Kpop edition of Heardle — one daily quiz for the whole Kpop catalog, every generation and every group, not just one idol. And where the original game asks you to type the song title from memory, here you pick from four tracks instead, so a half-remembered chorus is enough to play — no spelling, no search box. The pool spans second-generation pioneers through the acts topping Billboard's Global 200 today.
It's a free, fan-made game that runs right in your browser — nothing to install, no account to create. Same daily ritual the original Heardle made famous, rebuilt for Kpop. Read more about the project.
The whole thing started with a childhood memory: my big sister's morning alarm was always a Kpop song, so in our house a new day quite literally began with Kpop. This game is my way of passing that feeling on — one song every morning, for fans everywhere to wake up and play together. And if you have an idea for the game, I'd love to hear it — drop me a line at help@kpopheardle.org.
04 · How to play
How to play Kpop Heardle
Every song in the daily set works the same way:
Press play to hear a clip of the song — up to 30 seconds long.
Pick the track from four options, each shown as “title — idol”. Tapping an option locks in your guess.
Guessed wrong? The question ends right there — your pick is crossed out, the correct answer is revealed, and the song counts as a miss.
Every song you name right counts as one — no speed bonus. Get all ten and you finish the day 10 / 10.
You can replay the clip as many times as you like before answering — but every question gives you exactly one guess.
