### How to Play Hurdle
The game kicks off with a straightforward task: guess the word. As you offer your guesses, letters are classified as correct, misplaced, or incorrect. After you successfully identify the word, you progress to the next hurdle, where your previous answer serves as your initial guess. This can provide useful hints—or not—depending on the words involved. In the concluding hurdle, all the correct responses from prior rounds are revealed, with their correct and misplaced letters distinctly marked.

One important tip to bear in mind: the frequency with which a letter is highlighted in earlier rounds doesn’t necessarily indicate how many times it appears in the final challenge. So, keep your wits about you!
