How to play Heardle
The daily online game involves people attempting to guess what song is playing by simply hearing the intro.
Like Wordle, the aim is to get the correct tune in as few guesses as possible.
"Each Heardle is randomly plucked from a list of the most-streamed songs in the past decade," the music game app explains on its website.
Heardle also added that "Much love (and all the relevant copyright) to all the artists featured."
The music game also records how many games you play, your wins and win rate as well as your current and highest streak.
If you're just starting the music trend or you're slacking on your streak, here are the songs that you have missed recently.
