Toronto ranks third in Canada when it comes to Heardle success

Have you heardle the good wordle?

According to a recent study, Canada ranks seventh in the world at Heardle, with Toronto coming in third nationwide.

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. Players 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 the findings in a recent study.

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.
