The streaming music platform Spotify has announced the acquisition of Heardlea tool that works like the well-known online game Wordle and is focused on discovering music.
The company has announced this purchase through a statement in which it has detailed the uses of this functionalitywhich can help app users “rediscover old songs” or meet new artists.
Heardle works in the same way as Wordle, the viral crossword puzzle game that hit social networks like Facebook and Twitter earlier this year, and consists of guessing five-letter words, but it focuses on guess song names.
In this way, challenges users to know a song based on their initial notes. If the title of this is not written correctly in the first instance, subscribers will have the opportunity to respond in other five occasions.
As attempts are made, the program offers more clues to get both the theme and the artist right. In this way, in the last attempt, the application will play about 20 seconds of the song to be guessed.
In addition, this tool allows you to enter the artist or band name and offers the different songs found in its database to speed up discovery.
To add a new feature to the Spotify user experience, the company has announced that this trivia is now available on its platform for users in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The company has announced that for existing Heardle players, the appearance of the game will remain the same and that, in addition, keep your free.
On the other hand, it has reported that, once the six attempts have been completed, will make the song in question available to usersregardless of whether it was successful or not.
Finally, Spotify has pointed out that this feature will reach “hundreds of millions more people around the world”, who will be able to play Heardle in their native language. Later it plans to integrate other interactive experiences on the platform.
