Need a little nudge to help you tick off today's musical brain teaser Heardle? You've come to the right place.

If you're anything like us, you've been agonising over the New York Times' mind-bender for months now.

Described as "a respectful homage to Wordle", Heardle comes with a musical twist.

Here's how to play the game as well as hints at July 1's song and that all-important answer when you eventually give up.

How to play Heardle

The daily online game involves people attempting to guess what song is playing by simply hearing the intro. 

Like Wordle, the aim is to get the correct tune in as few guesses as possible.

"Each Heardle is randomly plucked from a list of the most-streamed songs in the past decade," the music game app explains on its website.

Heardle also added that "Much love (and all the relevant copyright) to all the artists featured."

The music game also records how many games you play, your wins and win rate as well as your current and highest streak.

If you're just starting the music trend or you're slacking on your streak, here are the songs that you have missed recently.

  • Thursday, June 23: "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" by The Smiths
  • Friday, June 24: "Pony" by Ginuwine
  • Saturday, June 25: "Rock With You" by Michael Jackson
  • Sunday, June 26: "Groove Is In The Heart" by Deee-Lite

Heardle July 1 hints

If July 1's song is proving to be a bit of a head-scratcher for you, we've included some subtle hints to help prompt your memory without giving the whole game away.

  • The song was released in 1979
  • The tune is listed within the Progressive Rock genre
  • The track is from a three-part composition as part of a Rock Opera

What is today's Heardle answer: July 1?

If you have given up on today’s game, then we can save you the misery.

But those still trying to crack the tune, look away now.
