Edmonton ranks first in Canada when it comes to Heardle success
Edmonton is known as the festival city, so maybe that’s why it’s been ranked as the best in the country when it comes to Heardle success?
According to a recent study, Canada ranks seventh in the world at Heardle, with Edmonton coming in first place nationwide. Way to go, YEG!
Heardle is based on the popular word puzzle game, Wordle. But instead of asking for a correct word, this game asks players to identify a pop song based on the first second of the track. They have six tries to get it right, plus a clue with every wrong guess.
WordTips analyzed thousands of geotagged tweets to find the average Heardle score for places around the globe and compiled their findings in a recent study.

Ireland is the best country worldwide at the game, with players in Dublin guessing the correct answer in an average of 1.73 turns.
France came in second, followed by Belgium, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, and Germany, in that order.
Fun fact: the easiest Heardle song to guess is apparently “Smells like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana. If you get that one wrong, yeah, it’s on you. By comparison, one of the hardest was the 2000 hit “Ms. Jackson” by Outkast — I am for real. No need to feel bad about skipping it.
