If you enjoy daily word challenges such as [Wordle](https://mashable.com/category/wordle), then [Hurdle](https://games.mashable.com/games/todays-hurdle) is a superb addition to your daily gaming experience.

### How to Play Hurdle

Hurdle features five rounds. In the initial round, you need to identify the correct word, receiving feedback on letters that are correct, misplaced, and incorrect. Once you figure out a word, it serves as your first guess for the subsequent hurdle. This can offer helpful hints—or none at all, depending on the words.

For the last hurdle, all prior correct answers merge into one final challenge, with correctly placed and misplaced letters distinctly shown.

One important aspect to keep in mind: just because a letter was marked in earlier rounds doesn’t necessarily imply it appears the same number of times in the final hurdle.

If you ever feel stuck, don’t fret—we’ve got hints and answers ready to assist you!
