Before the next game, would you like to learn more about Heardle?
The Heardle has drawn inspiration from the most renowned word-guessing game Wordle, which witnessed millions of participants check in every day within months of its introduction in late 2021.

The acquisition of Heardle by Spotify in July 2022 was the most significant event in the company's history.

The game hasn't changed much, and Heardle is still free. However, there have been a few changes made due to the acquisition, such as switching to Spotify from SoundCloud as the primary player so that participants can now listen to the entire song once the game is over.

This is one among the factors that attracted Spotify to Heardle. Jeremy Erlich, Spotify's global head of music, claims that the team is constantly looking for fresh and enjoyable ways to promote music discovery and help artists meet new fans.

It hasn't been a simple transfer, either; after the acquisition, the game was only available in a few countries (US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand). The players have raised issues about the streaks vanishing.

Heardle will still be improvised and developed. Spotify has indicated that it would help music enthusiasts to engage more intimately with artistes and challenge friends - and have some fun through the game and other interactive experiences.
