In case you didn’t know, there’s a One Direction edition of the popular Heardle game, and it’s the perfect way for Directioners to test their knowledge! If you haven’t played Heardle yet, it’s pretty simple: you’re given the first few seconds of a song, and you have to try to guess the track in the shortest amount of time possible. You get one second to start and can continue adding seconds to the clip until you get it.
If you know the beginnings of songs, this should be easy! That’s why we put together a cheat sheet of the opening lyrics to all of One Direction’s songs. However, bear in mind that not every song’s opening will have lyrics, so you really have to know those intro notes.
The list below contains all of the songs from One Direction’s discography — from “Up All Night” to “Made in the A.M.” This includes bonus and special-edition tracks on the deluxe versions, because you never know what Heardle might throw at you. We also included some of 1D’s most popular covers that they did on tour and on “The X Factor,” just in case you need those, too. Now that you’re equipped, prepare to dominate One Direction Heardle!
