If you enjoy daily word challenges like Wordle, you might consider incorporating Hurdle into your gameplay. This captivating game puts players to the test with five rounds of word guessing, each one building upon the previous.

In the opening round, your task is to guess a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, letters are color-coded to indicate whether they are correct, misplaced, or not present at all. Upon solving the first word, you advance to the next stage—referred to as a “hurdle.” The interesting part? Your accurate answer from the prior round serves as your initial guess for the subsequent one. This can provide you with a beneficial jumpstart or put you back to square one, depending on the word.

By the time you reach the final hurdle, all your previously correct guesses will assist you in determining the last word. Remember: just because a letter was present multiple times in earlier guesses does not guarantee that it appears the same number of times in the final solution.
