Spotify to shut its music guessing game Heardle

San Franciso: Music streaming platform Spotify said that it will shut down its Wordle-inspired music guessing game 'Heardle' on May 5. The company is now aiming to focus on its other objectives around music discovery.

"Thanks for playing Heardle, but unfortunately we have to say goodbye. From May 5, Heardle will no longer be available," said the official statement. The decision to close Heardle was made because Spotify wants to focus more of its emphasis on music discovery through recent app updates, rather than off-platform Wordle-inspired activity. "After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Heardle as we focus our efforts on other features for music discovery," said a company spokesperson.

Spotify acquired the game last year in July.

According to TechCrunch, the game is similar to Wordle. Heardle gives players six chances to guess the artist and title of a popular song, but instead of putting in different letters to construct words, players listen to the song's opening to guess the artist and title.

Earlier this month, Spotify said that it is shutting down its live-audio app 'Spotify Live'. However, the company said it will continue to explore live features on its main platform. "After a period of experimentation and learnings around how Spotify users interact with live audio, we've made the decision to sunset the Spotify Live app," said a spokesperson.
