If you enjoy daily word challenges like Wordle, there’s another entertaining twist you might consider adding to your lineup: Hurdle. This captivating word game features five rounds, each aimed at assessing your vocabulary and reasoning abilities.

Here’s how it functions: In the initial round, you attempt to guess a five-letter word. Similar to Wordle, your guess will indicate which letters are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. If you deduce the word, you advance to the next hurdle. The unique aspect? Your correct guess from the preceding round serves as your initial guess for the following one. This can be beneficial—or not—depending on how the words connect.

By the time you arrive at the final hurdle, all your prior correct guesses are shown. You’ll observe which letters are correctly positioned and which are misplaced, providing you with a solid base to build upon. Just keep in mind: the frequency of a letter in earlier rounds doesn’t always indicate how many times it appears in the ultimate word.
