The deal comes a month after Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said at Spotify's investor day that the company is doubling down on music discovery within the app in an effort to draw more users into the app and keep them on the platform. Spotify said it plans on expanding into more markets in the future. The game is now available in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The only change appears to be that starting Tuesday, players can listen to the full song on Spotify after they finish the game. It will also continue to remain free for players. This allows you to scan a QR code on a friend’s device to instantly join their Group Session. If you’d like to join a session instead, select Scan to Join. The look and feel of the game will stay the same, meaning it will continue to be a standalone game on its website. Scroll down past your streamable devices and select Start Session under the Start a Group Session option. Spotify said that 'millions' of players use Heardle, but didn't provide any more specifics.

If that sounds familiar, it's because it's largely inspired by Wordle, the trivia word guessing game that was acquired by The New York Times in January. Players get six chances to figure out the song, with each hint giving users a few extra seconds to help their guess.

Heardle asks users, once a day, to guess a song based on its opening notes.
