NijiGuessSaki is a project that was inspired by Heardle, a game that lets you guess the full song based on a snippet of the song. Similar to the game Wordle but with Music 🎵.

NijiGuessSaki allows you to add a Public Spotify Playlist, and works with any song that has Song Previews:

In the guessing interface, it plays a short snippet of the song (0.5 seconds) in a random section of the song. You may choose to add more time to play the song to aid your guess.

Motivation

Heardle's implementation is based on a set list of popular English Pop songs, but I decided to build NijiGuessSaki as a way to customise the songs that are in the playlist. The name "NijiGuessSaki" comes from the Nijigasaki idol group from the LoveLive! series. The name was choosen as I really liked their songs and was sharing the experience with my friend, Leonard, who was also a Beta tester and the creator of the name as well :D
