Agree with Sebastian's advice, first work on identifying the root / the tonic chord (I or i) l. After that make sure you can tell the difference between min and maj (then dim later). If you can get the those things that will take you a long way - by process of elimination. Usually it's down to just two possible options, then you can do more detailed analysis to choose between those two.

For me in the beginning it was hard to tell the difference between V and IV, if that's your issue too, I would suggest practicing with the chord progression generator. You could even have this open in another tab and use it to help you in the beginning (find the key, create some progressions that you think it might be, and then compare to the question in the game). This game got much easier for me as the levels went along, in the beginning it was rough.

I proceed that way:
1) Sing the root (it's the very first note played in the game, before the progression is heard)
2) Listen to the progression and sing the root at the same time, until you find the chord that sounds well with the root you're singing
3) As Jace said, it's usually down to 2 options at that stage, let's say you have to choose between V-I-IV & IV-I-V
4) Since you know your root, you can use it to sing each combination. Listen again while singing at the same time.
5) You'll notice that when you sing a IV while listening to a V, it doesn't sound right. And vice versa.
Hope that helps!

I’ve also been having challenges with this one (and a couple of the other chord exercises). I ended up going over to Hook Theory, and their gamified ear progression is really good. It starts very basic, but it also matches things up with real songs, so it’s been a real game changer for my ear training. Tonegym and Hook Theory complement each other really well. It does always play the root, so it’s a bit easier, but that was where i needed to start

Our human species' pride is leading us to negligently understimate the dimension of what AI can do to make our lives better: that clipboard is autonomous too, and it can even hold up to the band leader's aching hand with that twisted thumb...
