Heardle has made quite a name for itself recently with the rise of browser-based simple games over the past year. The guessing game is based on the familiar premise of Wordle, with a musical twist that makes it much more exciting. After many Wordle-like games failed to make a mark in the gaming community, this James Wardle creation quickly rose to prominence after its release in early 2022.
As the name suggests, this is a hearing-based guessing game. The rules are fairly simple. Players are provided with a small part of a song, generally the intro, and they have to guess the name of the song based on that. Each player is given six chances, with the duration of the clip increasing with every failed attempt. The sooner a player guesses the right answer, the better it is.
However, not every player possesses a high level of musical knowledge or memory, so here are some hints and the answer to today's Heardle to assist you.
