A sad goodbye to Heardle, Spotify’s fun music version Wordle that’s going away

So long to Heardle and thanks for the musical memories.

It’s a rough day for music lovers.

Heardle, the music guessing game that’s a version of Wordle but for your ears, is going away.

The game was acquired last year by music streaming service Spotify, which announced last month that it would be shutting down the game. Why? Per Tech Crunch: “Now the company says it will sunset Heardle on May 5, as it aims to focus on its other objectives around music discovery.”
