If you’re anything like us, you’ve been agonising over the New York Times’ Wordle mind-bender for months now.
Described as “a respectful homage to Wordle”, Heardle comes with a musical twist.
Here’s how to play the game as well as hints at August 7’s song and that all-important answer when you eventually give up.

How to play Heardle
The daily online game involves people attempting to guess what song is playing by simply hearing the intro.
Like Wordle, the aim is to get the correct tune in as few guesses as possible.
Spotify has recently acquired Heardle, telling fans that it has a “new font” but “sounds just as good”.
The music game also records how many games you play, your wins and win rate as well as your current and highest streak.
You can now even click on the song and add it straight to your Spotify playlist if you like what you hear.
If you’re just starting the music trend or you’re slacking on your streak, here are the songs that you have missed recently.

Heardle August 7 hints
If August 7’s song is proving to be a bit of a head-scratcher for you, we’ve included some subtle hints to help prompt your memory without giving the whole game away.
- The song was released in 2011
- The track is listed within the Art Pop genre

Heardle August 7: Now and then I think of when we were together
If the first line of the song isn’t enough to jog your memory, it is followed by:
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
What is today’s Heardle answer: August 7?
If you have given up on today’s game, then we can save you the misery.
But those still trying to crack the tune, look away now.
The Heardle for August 7 is: “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye, featuring Kimbra
