CHORDLE

We're thinking about starting a membership website for creative musicians, and we'd love to hear from you about how we can make it ideal for you. Please fill out our 5-minute survey. Thanks! (For the Chordle changelog click here.)

Like Wordle but chords! Guess the four-note chord in four tries or fewer.

After you guess, you get feedback:

Green means right note, right column.

E

Gray means that note is not in the chord.

Only the diatonic seventh chords are allowed:

Dominant seventh
Minor seventh
Half-diminished seventh
Major seventh

Chords can be in any inversion; a guess must be in the correct inversion to win.

All chords must be in close position (all notes fit within the span of an octave).

Every row you enter must be a chord from the list of allowed chords.

No chords with white-key sharps or flats (C♭, F♭, B♯, E♯) are in the list.

You can enter notes using your computer keyboard or the Keyring shown. Here's how to read the Keyring.

Turn your sound on to hear your chords!
