May 15, 2025: Hurdle Hints and Answers


If you enjoy daily word challenges such as Wordle, you might want to incorporate another enjoyable game into your lineup: Hurdle. This captivating word game adds a unique twist to the traditional guessing style by guiding you through five successive rounds, each one building upon the previous.

Here’s the breakdown: In the initial round, your challenge is to guess a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, each guess reveals which letters are accurate, misplaced, or incorrect. Once you successfully guess the first word, you proceed to the next “hurdle.” The solution from the last round serves as your opening guess for the following round, potentially giving you a head start or sending you back to square one.

As you approach the final hurdle, all your prior correct guesses are displayed, highlighting their positions to assist you in deciphering the final word. However, remember that just because a letter appeared multiple times in prior words doesn’t guarantee it will reappear that often in the last one.
