Hints and Answers for Hurdle – April 18, 2026

If you love playing daily word games such as Wordle, you might want to incorporate Hurdle into your game lineup.

This game features five rounds. In the initial round, you make a guess at the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown for each attempt. A successful guess propels you to the next hurdle, taking the answer from the previous hurdle as your first guess, which might offer multiple hints or none at all, based on the words. For the concluding hurdle, all correct answers from earlier rounds are presented, with correct and misplaced letters distinctly noted.

Keep in mind that the frequency of a letter being highlighted in prior guesses does not necessarily indicate its presence in the final hurdle.
