Why Is Today’s Heardle Song Blocked?

The reason today’s Heardle song is blocked and cannot be played is to do with Soundcloud and the copyrighting for certain tracks in particular locations.

Basically, Heardle’s daily song is randomly selected from a playlist of songs on Soundcloud. Sometimes, these songs are unavailable in your region, due to copyright issues.

This is the same kind of issue that you’ll sometimes have noticed when trying to watch YouTube videos that are released for specific regions outside of your current location.

How to Fix Heardle Blocked Error

The only option you’ve got here is to try using a VPN service and changing your location to a different territory. For example, if you live in the USA, you might want to try changing your VPN location to the United Kingdom or somewhere in Europe.

If you don’t want to do this, unfortunately, you don’t have any other choice but to miss out on your song-based puzzle for the day and wait until tomorrow when it refreshes.
