Hints and Solutions for Hurdle on January 11, 2026


If you love engaging in daily word challenges like Wordle, then Hurdle is a fantastic addition to your daily activities.

The game is made up of five rounds. In the initial round, you make a guess for the word, receiving feedback on letters that are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. Correct guesses allow you to move on to the next hurdle, where you will use the previous guess as your starting point, potentially offering various clues or none at all, based on the words. In the final hurdle, all accurate answers from the earlier rounds are displayed, with correct and misplaced letters clearly marked.

Keep in mind that the frequency of a letter being highlighted in prior guesses doesn’t necessarily reflect its occurrence in the final hurdle.
