Today's Heardle: Clues and answer for Thursday, April 20, 2023

Heardle fans might be disappointed that the game is going to be discontinued from May 4, 2023. It has garnered massive popularity over the last year and even rose to become one of the most popular browser-based games on the internet. It was released as one of the many spinoffs of Wordle back in early 2022 and shares similar rules.

Having said that, there’s still time before one has to bid goodbye to the beloved game, and fans can continue to flaunt their knowledge of pop music for a couple more weeks. The game requires players to listen to the opening seconds of a song’s intro and guess its name using a maximum number of six attempts.

While six chances sound like a lot, the catch is that with each failed attempt, the length of the track increases, making it easier to figure out the song. The only prerequisite to play the game is to have a basic knowledge of pop music.
