If you enjoy daily word puzzles such as Wordle, you might consider incorporating Hurdle into your regular puzzle routine. This captivating game tests players with five rounds of word guessing, with each round building on the previous one.

Here’s the rundown: In the initial round, you make a guess with a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, letters are marked to indicate if they are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. After successfully solving the first word, you proceed to the next round—known as a “hurdle”—where your prior answer automatically serves as your initial guess for the upcoming word. This can either offer valuable clues or mislead you, based on the word. By the time you reach the final hurdle, all your correct responses from the earlier rounds will be visible, accompanied by color-coded letter hints to assist you in solving the last word.

Keep in mind: Just because a letter shows up multiple times in previous answers doesn’t guarantee it will do so in the final word.
