Heardle is a fun musical puzzle that tests every music enthusiast’s knowledge of pop music. The game requires players to listen to the starting bits of a popular song’s intro and then guess its title.

It is to be noted that with every unsuccessful attempt, the length of the intro increases, making it easier for the player to arrive at the answer.

The Black Keys rose to prominence in the 2000s among garage rock circles with the release of The Big Come Up, which features several memorable tracks like I'll Be Your Man, The Breaks, and Countdown, to name a few. But their biggest commercial breakthrough came with Brothers in 2010, which had a number of popular songs including Tighten Up, Howlin' For You, I'm Not the One, and more. The garage rock duo's distinctive sound is heavily influenced by classic blues artists like Robert Johnson, Junior Kimbrough, and Howlin' Wolf, to name a few.
