Today's Heardle: Clues and answer for Tuesday, February 14, 2023

Heardle is one of the most popular browser-based games that caters primarily to music lovers. Similar to Wordle, which involves guessing five-letter words using a maximum of six attempts, Heardle puts out the intro of a famous pop song every day. The goal for the player is to listen to the intro and figure out the track and artist as quickly as possible.

Although the songs released in the app are expected to be widely popular, guessing the titles can still be quite tricky since only the opening section of the intros are played. This means that one has to be extremely familiar with the song in order to guess it correctly using the first few attempts.

The game has garnered popularity ever since its release in early 2022. If you’re not a music enthusiast, you can still give it a try as it helps you explore new music whilst also refreshing your mind.
