About Kpopless

Kpopless is a free daily K-pop music guessing game inspired by Heardle and Songless. Every day at midnight UTC, 3 brand-new songs are selected from a library of over 1,400 K-pop tracks. Listen to short audio snippets, guess the song title and artist, and see how you stack up against other players worldwide.

How to Play

Game Mechanics

Snippet Lengths

Each attempt reveals a progressively longer portion of the song:

1s
Guess 1
2s
Guess 2
3s
Guess 3
5s
Guess 4
8s
Guess 5
10s
Guess 6

Scoring

The fewer guesses you need, the better your score. After finishing all 3 songs, you'll see a guess distribution chart showing how your performance compares to every other player that day. The chart highlights your result and shows your top percentage ranking.

Daily Reset

New songs are selected every day at midnight UTC. The game ensures that the same artist is never picked twice in one day, and songs that have been played in recent days won't repeat.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do the daily songs reset?

New songs are available every day at midnight UTC (7 PM EST / 4 PM PST / 9 AM KST).

Can I replay songs from previous days?

Currently, Kpopless only offers today's songs. Previous days' songs are not available for replay.

How are the daily songs chosen?

Songs are selected using a deterministic algorithm that ensures variety — no repeated artists in a single day, and no recently-played songs. The selection is the same for all players worldwide.

Do I need an account to play?

No! Kpopless works entirely in your browser. Your game progress is saved locally using your browser's storage. No sign-up or login required.

Why can't I hear the audio?

Make sure your device is not muted and that your browser allows audio playback. Some browsers require a user interaction (like clicking the play button) before audio can play. Try refreshing the page if the issue persists.

What does the guess distribution chart show?

After completing a song, you'll see a bar chart showing how many players guessed correctly in 1 through 6 attempts, plus how many failed (X). Your result is highlighted, and a "top X%" ranking shows how you compare.

Is Kpopless free?

Yes, Kpopless is completely free to play. The site is supported by ads.
