Spotify's music intro game Heardle is the game all music lovers need to play.
If you're anything like us, you've been agonising over the New York Times' Wordle 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 September 7'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.
Spotify has recently acquired Heardle, telling fans that it has a "new font" but "sounds just as good".
The music game also records how many games you play, your wins and win rate as well as your current and highest streak.
You can now even click on the song and add it straight to your Spotify playlist if you like what you hear.
If you're just starting the music trend or you're slacking on your streak, here are the songs that you have missed recently.
How to play Heardle Decades like Heardle 80s, 90s, 00s and more
If you are mad about music but only know your tunes from a specific era, then you are in luck.
This unofficial spin-off lets you guess songs from specific decades including the 60s right through to the 00s.
Similar to Heardle, users will get to play a snippet of a song as they try and guess which one it is in as few attempts as possible.
Once you've done all the decades, you can also try out some of the games testing your knowledge of the biggest artists in the industry from the Pet Shop Boys to George Michael and Wham!
Play the games by the Heardle Decades website.
