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

### How to Engage with Hurdle
Hurdle features five rounds. In the initial round, you try to identify the word, with feedback revealing correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. After solving the word, you proceed to the subsequent hurdle, where the previous answer acts as your first guess. This can either yield helpful hints or none whatsoever, based on the words involved.

For the last hurdle, all prior correct answers are shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly indicated. However, it’s crucial to understand that just because a letter was marked in earlier rounds doesn’t mean it appears the same number of times in the final hurdle.

If you ever hit a dead end, don’t fret—we’ve got your back!
