Hurdle Hints and Answers for April 26, 2026

If you’re a fan of word games like Wordle, you might want to include Hurdle in your game lineup.

The game features five rounds. In the opening round, you attempt to guess the word, with letters that are correct, misplaced, or incorrect indicated in your guesses. Correct guesses propel you to the next hurdle, using your previous answer as your first guess, which may offer multiple hints or none, depending on the chosen words. In the final hurdle, all correct responses from earlier rounds are shown, with correct and misplaced letters distinctively indicated.

Keep in mind that the frequency a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does not necessarily reflect its occurrence in the final hurdle.
