Today's Heardle: Clues and answer for Monday, April 10, 2023

Heardle is a popular musical puzzle that was developed as a spinoff of Wordle, the iconic word puzzle that has garnered a massive fan following around the world. The game is quite similar to Wordle in terms of overall concept and theme.

Both games offer a total of six chances to guess the answer. The key difference is that in Wordle, players need to guess five-letter words, while in Heardle, they need to figure out the names of popular songs by listening to their opening few seconds.

The songs will mostly be popular contemporary tracks that should be easy to guess if you’re an ardent music enthusiast. Although six chances are available, the played clip's length increases every time you make the wrong guess, further revealing the song and making it easier to guess. So the goal is to get the correct answer using as few attempts as possible.
