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.”
This is also a good reminder to save your stats if you so choose. And what was the final song on its last day? SPOILER ALERT! SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WANT TO KNOW!
Ready?
OK.
It was (Theme from) New York, New York by Frank Sinatra (get it? Because they’re “leaving today.”). Here are some goodbyes from users:
Well since this is the final #Heardle apparently I guess I'll post my final stats. pic.twitter.com/PExxDfrbx8

Spotify’s acquisition of Heardle is up there with the most pointless purchases in history, I’m sad to see it go. pic.twitter.com/QlOWSeckKQ
