If you enjoy daily word challenges like [Wordle](https://mashable.com/category/wordle), you may want to consider adding [Hurdle](https://games.mashable.com/games/todays-hurdle) to your collection. This entertaining game presents a fresh twist with five rounds of word-guessing excitement.

### How to Engage with Hurdle
The game kicks off with you attempting to identify the initial word. Similar to Wordle, your guesses will indicate correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. Once you successfully guess the right word, you proceed to the subsequent hurdle. The answer from the preceding round serves as your starting guess for the next one, which may provide useful clues—or none at all, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, all correct responses from the earlier rounds are shown, with their accurate and misplaced letters distinctly marked.

One important point to keep in mind: the frequency of a letter being highlighted in previous guesses doesn’t necessarily indicate how many times it will occur in the final hurdle.

In case you find yourself puzzled, don’t fret—we have hints and solutions to assist you.
