Heardle is a musical puzzle that caters primarily to music lovers worldwide. Every day, the app puts out the intro of a popular song that players need to guess. Only the starting bits of the intro are played, so guessing can be pretty tricky. A player can use up to six chances, with the song's length increasing with every unsuccessful attempt. The aim is to figure out the title using the least number of attempts. The app automatically resets with a new song at 12.00 am.
