Heardle is back with a fresh round that will encourage players to put on their thinking caps and guess the word of the day. A Wordle spinoff for music enthusiasts, the game requires players to guess the name of the song based on the intro. They get a small audio clip from the song to begin with, which is the first second of the song. After every guess, the available clip increases in length, giving players a greater chance of doing well.

The songs range from recent pop to old classics, and players with a broad taste in music definitely have an advantage. However, anyone who keeps up with recent music trends and pop culture can figure out the answer and sometimes discover new music too, if they try hard enough.
