Haven’t played the game before? It’s one of the best Wordle alternatives and clones, but rather than making you guess five-letter words, it gives you six chances to identify a song from a 15-second intro. Heardle pulls its playlist from the most popular streamed tracks on a range of platforms, so you don’t need to be a huge music buff to stand a chance of getting a good score.
Still, it can be surprisingly tricky to guess the name of a song just from the intro. That’s where we come in — we’re keeping track of the answers from past Heardle games, and we’ll give you hints for today’s Heardle answer if you’re stumped.

Well done if you got the right answer!
This song seems to have a pretty iconic opening. I even saw people online comparing it to the opening of Welcome To The Black Parade, the Heardle track we had a few days ago.
However recognizable this song might be, I didn’t have a clue on what it was. We get some vocals in the intro, but even if I had wanted to cheat and Google the lyrics, I couldn’t understand a word that was being said. All due respect though, this is a catchy tune.
