Haven’t played the game before? It’s one of the best Wordle alternatives and clones, but rather than making you guess five-letter words, it gives you six chances to identify a song from a 15-second intro. Heardle pulls its playlist from the top streamed tracks on Spotify, so you don’t need to be a huge music buff to stand a chance of getting a good score.
Still, it can be surprisingly tricky to guess the name of a song just from the intro. That’s where we come in — we’re keeping track of the answers from past Heardle games, and we’ll give you hints for today’s Heardle answer if you’re stumped.

Today’s Heardle answer, Tuesday, May 24
So, what is today’s Heardle answer?
The answer is Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan.
Did you get it? If Heardle’s 30-second clip wasn’t enough for you, check out the full song here:
Well done if you got the right answer! The 1-second intro to this song gave us just a single drum beat to go off of, so you deserve extra praise if you guessed it from that alone.
Based on my extensive Twitter research, I saw lots of users skipping the first few turns, then getting the right answer on their final try. I guess Bob Dylan’s vocals chiming in were the clue everyone needed to guess this song.
I was nowhere close with my guesses today. I don’t feel too bad about not getting it though — this song released in 1965, a couple of decades before I was born. Still, hearing this track during today’s Heardle has given me an appreciation of a type of music I don’t usually listen to. The lyrics, especially the chorus, are just as impactful today as they were back when the song released.
