If you’re into daily word challenges like Wordle, you should check out another exciting game: Hurdle. This captivating game gives a fresh spin to the traditional word-guessing style and is a fantastic addition to your everyday puzzle lineup.

Hurdle features five rounds. In the initial round, you try to guess a five-letter word, receiving hints about which letters are correct, incorrectly placed, or entirely wrong—much like in Wordle. After successfully guessing the first word, the game takes that answer as your starting guess for the following round. This process is repeated through each hurdle, with the ultimate round drawing on all prior correct answers to assist your final guess.

Remember: just because a letter shows up several times in earlier guesses doesn’t guarantee it will show the same frequency in the last hurdle.
