Heardle was one of the games that we really enjoyed quite a bit, but definitely needed some sort of variation to the game itself other than 'first x seconds'

Usually we would get the answer in a single try, because it happened to be a song we knew by heart, or we wouldn't get it at all because we didn't know the artist/it was just not in a genre to which we regularly listen/the song was an obscure hit or one hit wonder before our time

Perhaps it would have been better as 'guess the artist' and give you 5 second clips from decreasingly obscure songs

Why don't they just ask songs some of you once heard before using ur song history?

Because then it loses the shareability - you can't compete with your friends when you're all getting different songs to guess
