Today's Heardle: Clues and answer for Tuesday, April 18, 2023

One of the most popular browser-based games, Heardle, is sadly going away on May 5, less than a year after its acquisition by Spotify in July 2022. The music streaming giant put out a statement that reads:

''After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Heardle as we focus our efforts on other features for music discovery.''

However, fans can continue to enjoy the game for a few more weeks and maintain their impressive winning score. The Wordle spinoff’s rules are quite simple and straightforward: listen to the intro of the song that the app puts out every day and guess its title and artist based on it.

A total of six chances are available, but it’s important to note that with every used-up chance, the length of the track keeps on increasing, making it easier for players to figure out the name of the song.
