If you enjoy daily word games such as Wordle, there’s an engaging challenge you should consider incorporating into your routine: Hurdle.

Hurdle consists of five rounds of word guessing. In the initial round, your task is to identify the correct five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, each of your guesses provides feedback—letters that are accurate and in the correct position, accurate but out of place, or entirely wrong. After you solve the first word, the game seamlessly transitions you to the subsequent round, utilizing your last answer as the initial guess. This process continues through all five rounds, with each new puzzle building upon the previous one.

When you arrive at the final hurdle, all your earlier correct answers are applied as guesses, offering you a mix of useful hints—or occasionally not much assistance at all. Remember: just because a letter shows up multiple times in prior guesses doesn’t guarantee it appears that many times in the final word.
