If you enjoy daily word challenges like [Wordle](https://mashable.com/category/wordle), you should certainly think about incorporating [Hurdle](https://games.mashable.com/games/todays-hurdle) into your daily activities.

### How to Play Hurdle

Hurdle is made up of five rounds. During the first round, you attempt to guess the word, and each attempt reveals letters that are correct, misplaced, or not in the word at all. After correctly guessing the word, you advance to the next hurdle, where the previous answer serves as your initial guess. This may offer useful hints or none, depending on the words. For the concluding hurdle, all accurate responses from earlier rounds are displayed, highlighting correct and misplaced letters accordingly.

It’s crucial to remember: just because a letter is highlighted several times in past guesses, it doesn’t necessarily imply it appears that many times in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck on any part of today’s Hurdle, fear not—hints and answers are at your disposal.
