If you enjoy daily word challenges like Wordle, you may want to include Hurdle in your everyday puzzle routine. This captivating game puts players to the test with five rounds of word guessing, each one building on the previous.

Here’s the process: In the initial round, you attempt to guess a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, your attempts will indicate correct, misplaced, or wrong letters. Once you figure out the first word, that answer serves as your starting point for the next round. This pattern continues for five rounds, with each subsequent puzzle utilizing the answer from the prior round as a hint. By the last round, all earlier correct answers will be shown, assisting you in determining the final word — but keep in mind that just because a letter was seen multiple times before, it doesn’t guarantee it will appear the same number of times in the ultimate word.
