Players are not required to guess a five-letter word regularly. Instead, they must correctly identify the day's song in no more than six tries. The game begins with an introduction to the day's semi-randomly chosen music.

Depending on your preference, you may either skip or submit a guess after hearing the first segment of the intro. Incorrect guesses and omissions will reveal more sections of the song's intro.

It has been a challenge to figure out certain songs even after listening to all six parts of the beginning. Meanwhile, some find it extremely easy to guess several songs.

Furthermore, if the introductory part of a song has lyrics, participants are allowed to enter them into the input box, displaying a list of songs. One can then choose a song from the list and finally submit their prediction. Heardle's new song of the day for May 14, 2022, is now available. Thus, we bring you the clues along with its answer.
