Hints and Solutions for the Hurdle on August 17, 2025


If you like engaging in daily word challenges such as Wordle, think about incorporating Hurdle into your game lineup. This game features five rounds. During the initial round, you make a guess at the word, with letters indicated as correct, misplaced, or incorrect. A successful guess moves you to the next hurdle, using your previous response as your initial guess, which might offer hints or may not, depending on the words chosen. In the concluding hurdle, all accurate responses from earlier rounds are shown, highlighting correct and misplaced letters.

Keep in mind that the occurrence of a letter highlighted in past guesses may not necessarily align with its frequency in the final hurdle.
