Pre acquisition it was based on Soundclouds most popular 250, and most of them were well-known enough to be guessable.

I've no idea what source they switched it to, but there's a lot of obscure songs which makes it a lot less fun.

Yeah I used to get it maybe 70% of the time in the first few seconds, and I just played it today and I have absolutely no idea what this song is. The main difference between Heardle and Wordle for me is that with Wordle you can sit there thinking on it for a bit and come back and you may have a new guess. With Heardle I either know it or I don't, I'm not gunna suddenly realise what song it is 5 hours later.
