If you enjoy daily word challenges such as Wordle, there’s another exciting game you ought to try: Hurdle. This captivating game adds a distinct spin to the word-guessing style and makes for a perfect addition to your routine puzzle tasks.

Hurdle is made up of five rounds. In the initial round, your task is to deduce a five-letter word, receiving feedback for each guess—correct letters, mispositioned letters, and incorrect ones. After determining the word, you progress to the next round. Here’s the twist: your correct guess from the prior round serves as your first attempt in the subsequent one. This can either provide you with a valuable advantage or leave you at a loss, based on the word.

In the concluding round, known as the “Final Hurdle,” all your previous correct responses are employed as guesses. The game emphasizes both correct and mispositioned letters to assist you in uncovering the final word. Remember, however, that just because a letter shows up multiple times in earlier guesses doesn’t imply it will do so in the final word.

If you encounter any challenges during the game, no need to fret—we have hints and solutions to guide you through today’s Hurdle.
