April 20, 2026: Tips and Solutions for Hurdles

If you like daily word challenges such as Wordle, you might want to include Hurdle in your activities. The game features five stages. In the initial stage, you try to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters indicated. A correct guess moves you to the next hurdle, where your previous answer becomes your first guess, which could offer hints or none at all. For the last hurdle, all correct responses from past rounds are displayed, with correct and misplaced letters marked.

Keep in mind that the frequency of a marked letter in earlier guesses doesn’t necessarily correspond to its presence in the last hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck on today’s Hurdle, don’t fret! We’re here to help.
