If you’re enthusiastic about everyday word challenges like [Wordle](https://mashable.com/category/wordle), then [Hurdle](https://games.mashable.com/games/todays-hurdle) is an excellent enhancement to your daily activities.

### How to Play Hurdle
Hurdle features five rounds. In the initial round, you guess a word, receiving feedback on correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. After solving the word, you advance to the next hurdle, taking the previous answer as your first guess. This can either offer valuable hints or none at all, based on the words.

For the final challenge, all previously correct answers are merged into one last puzzle, with correct and misplaced letters distinctly highlighted.

**Important Note:** The frequency of a letter in earlier rounds does not necessarily reflect how many times it will appear in the final hurdle.

If you’re having trouble with today’s Hurdle, don’t fret—we have the clues and solutions for you!
