Today's Heardle: Clues and answer for Wednesday, October 12, 2022

Heardle is a musical puzzle game that offers music lovers around the world a chance to flaunt their knowledge of pop music. The puzzle shares the intro of a popular song every day, and players are required to guess the title of the song using a total of six chances that are available.

With every unsuccessful guess, the length of the track increases, which makes it easier to guess. The goal is to figure out the song using the least number of attempts. The songs get reset every day at 12 am.

Heardle has become massively popular among music nerds on social media ever since it came out earlier this year. It is conceptually similar to the equally-popular guessing game, Wordle.

According to Heardle’s official website, the songs are curated from a list of the most-streamed tracks of the last decade. This means that being familiar with contemporary music and modern-day pop stars could be a huge advantage.

But even if you're not too familiar with contemporary music, you can still give it a shot, because most of the songs featured in the daily challenges are widely known classics by famous artists.

With that said, if you’re struggling to crack today’s Heardle challenge, then take a look at some of these clues shared by Eurogamer that could help you remember the title:

''This track was released in 2006. The song is performed by a British indie band. The main vocalist of the band was known for his distinct curly hair at the time this single released. The title is just one word, describing someone who lacks experience, wisdom, or judgement.''

The clues seem fairly simple and straightforward, and if you’ve heard the song before, you’ve probably already guessed it. If not, scroll down for the answer.
