If you enjoy daily word challenges such as Wordle, you should definitely try Hurdle — an enjoyable and stimulating addition to your puzzle arsenal.

Hurdle is made up of five rounds. During the first round, you’ll attempt to guess a five-letter word, receiving feedback on letters that are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. After you figure out the word, you progress to the next round — or “hurdle” — where your last answer serves as your initial guess. This can provide useful hints or, at times, none at all, based on the relationship between the words. In the concluding round, all your previously accurate guesses are utilized as potential answers, with feedback given for each one.

Remember: just because a letter shows up several times in past guesses doesn’t imply it occurs that frequently in the final word.
