Spotify said Tuesday that it is acquiring Wordle-inspired music game Heardle to make music discoverability more interactive for users on the platform.

The streaming platform said in a statement that the game’s rules will remain the same: Players have six tries to guess a song, and a few more seconds of the song are revealed with each hint. Whether a player gets the song right or not, the full track will be linked to on Spotify, replacing Heardle’s original destination, SoundCloud.
