One of the challenges players need to deal with while playing Heardle is that only the opening few seconds of the song are played. This means that even if you’re extremely familiar with the song, it might not be easy to crack the puzzle. And today’s song is one such tricky number that fans might find difficult to guess.

Heardle was released as a spinoff of Wordle in early 2022, and garnered massive popularity among both Wordle fans as well as music lovers from around the world. It is arguably trickier than Wordle, considering knowledge of pop music is a prerequisite, and guessing based on the intro can be slightly more challenging.

Heardle also offers six chances, like Wordle, and with every chance, the song reveals itself further, which makes it easier to guess the track. So players need to make sure that they crack the puzzle in the initial few attempts.
