If you enjoy daily word challenges like Wordle, there’s another exciting game you might consider adding to your daily lineup: Hurdle.

Hurdle consists of five rounds, with each round building on its predecessor. In the initial round, you attempt to guess a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, your guesses will indicate which letters are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. After solving the first word, you then proceed to the next round—using the prior answer as your initial guess. This pattern progresses through all five rounds, with each accurate word contributing to the subsequent one.

When you reach the final hurdle, you’ll have all the previous correct answers, accompanied by clues regarding which letters are in the right place or misplaced. However, remember that just because a letter appears multiple times in earlier rounds doesn’t ensure it will do so in the final word.

Having trouble with today’s Hurdle? Don’t fret—we’ve got hints and answers ready to assist you with each round.
