If you enjoy daily word challenges such as Wordle, you might consider incorporating Hurdle into your routine of puzzles. This captivating game presents players with five rounds of word deciphering, each one connected to the previous.

During the initial round, you aim to guess a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, your guesses are marked with signs for letters that are correct, misplaced, or wrong. After you figure out the first word, you proceed to the next “hurdle,” where your last answer serves as your starting guess. This can either aid or obstruct your advancement, depending on how many letters the words share.

In the concluding round, all previously correct responses are utilized to assist you in finding the last word. However, be aware that just because a letter was highlighted in earlier rounds doesn’t guarantee it appears the same number of times in the final word.
