March 29, 2025: Hurdle Hints and Answers


If you enjoy daily word challenges such as Wordle, there’s another exciting game you might want to try: Hurdle.

Hurdle is a five-round word game that utilizes your previous guesses to assist you in cracking the final puzzle. In the initial round, you predict a five-letter word, getting feedback on which letters are correct, misplaced, or incorrect—similar to Wordle. If you succeed in guessing the word, you advance to the next round, where your last answer serves as your first guess. This can provide useful hints—or not—based on the words.

When you arrive at the final hurdle, all your earlier correct responses are utilized to inform your guesses, along with feedback on correct and misplaced letters. However, remember that just because a letter appears multiple times in the earlier rounds doesn’t guarantee it will do so in the final word.
