If you enjoy daily word challenges such as Wordle, you might want to include Hurdle in your routine of puzzles. This captivating game invites players to engage in five rounds of word guessing, with each round building on the previous one.

In the initial round, you guess a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, letters are indicated as correct, misplaced, or incorrect. Once you successfully guess the first word, you advance to the next “hurdle” — and here’s the catch: your correct response from the previous round serves as your first guess for the next. This can provide useful clues, or sometimes none at all, depending on the word.

By the time you arrive at the final hurdle, all your past correct answers will be displayed, along with hints regarding which letters are correctly placed or misplaced. However, remember that just because a letter was highlighted in a former guess, it doesn’t imply it appears multiple times in the final word.

Feeling challenged by today’s Hurdle? No need to fret — we have hints and answers available to assist you in each round.
