Today's Heardle: Clues and answer for Thursday, April 27, 2023

The daily Heardle musical challenges help test your knowledge of pop music as well as your listening skills. The game, which is a spinoff of Wordle, is quite similar to the beloved word puzzle game and requires players to guess the answer using a total of six attempts.

The major difference here is that in Heardle, players need to guess the names of songs instead of words. The opening bits of a famous song’s intro are played every day in the game, using which the player needs to figure out its title. With every failed chance, the song reveals itself further, which makes it easier for players to recognize the track.

So it’s imperative that players get the song right within the first few attempts. The game enjoys a huge fan following around the world. It was bought by Spotify in July 2022. However, the game will no longer be available to play after May 4.
