Heardle is perhaps the most well known inspiration of Wordle, the word game that saw million of players check in every day within months of its arrival in late 2021.

The most significant development in Heardle's history is its purchase by Spotify for an undisclosed amount in July 2022.

Though Heardle remains free and the game itself unchanged, the acquisition has seen a few changes, including a shift away from SoundCloud as its player of choice to Spotify - which now allows players to listen to the full track once the game has concluded.

It's this, in part, why Spotify was interested in Heardle. "We are always looking for innovative and playful ways to enhance music discovery and help artists reach new fans," said Jeremy Erlich, global head of music at Spotify.

It hasn't been a smooth transition, however - with the game only available in select countries immediately following the acquisiton (UK, US, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) and that players have reported streaks disappearing.

Wordle, for those who don't know, went through something similar - with streaks resetting for some players following its purchase by the New York Times.

As for the future of Heardle, Spotify has teased the game "and other interactive experiences" will "allow music lovers to connect more deeply with artists and challenge friends - and have some fun in the process".
