As much as I want to like Heardle - I'm with you. The problem with the game is their database though. They only have up to 4 songs per artist and it looks like they acquired the songs before thinking about what songs would make up a good game.

Good on you as well though - most people don't know how to match singers with their voices still.

This game suffers from an odd difficult curve. It's not robust enough for the well versed music lover (who should be the target market) and is too difficult for the unversed music lover (who seems to be who they targeted)

EDIT: I just played today's Heardle, and it's maybe the worst one they've ever had. I totally get what you mean.




This is hugely subjective. Today's was instantly recognizable for me allowing me to guess with just the 1s clip. Other days I am familiar with the song but not the opening so I would never be able to guess.

Most days are fun to guess, but some I have no idea. It depends on your personal music history.


I've never played Heardle before, also got it on the first clip. Interested in playing again... have to wait, though.
