Today's Heardle: Clues and answer for Friday, April 28, 2023

Heardle's new musical puzzle has quite an interesting song that fans of contemporary pop music might be able to guess quickly. Every day, the game drops a new track, asking players to figure out the title using a total of six chances.

Players must note that although there are six chances, each used-up attempt will result in the length of the song increasing. This makes it easier to recognize the track, so the goal should be to figure out the tracks as quickly as possible using the least number of attempts.

Heardle was released as a spinoff of Wordle back in early 2022 and soon went on to become one of the most popular puzzle games on the internet. It was acquired by Spotify in 2022.

However, Spotify recently announced that they’re shutting down the game after May 4, 2023.
