If you enjoy daily word challenges like Wordle, there’s another exciting game you might consider incorporating into your routine: Hurdle. This captivating word game features a unique format with five rounds of gameplay that progressively build on each other.

In the initial round, you’ll attempt to guess a five-letter word, receiving feedback on which letters are correct, incorrectly placed, or wrong—similar to Wordle. After successfully guessing the first word, your answer becomes the starting point for the subsequent round. This process continues through five hurdles, with each accurate response contributing to the next. By the final round, you’ll have access to all previous answers, accompanied by hints indicating which letters are positioned correctly or need to be shuffled.

One important tip to keep in mind: just because a letter is highlighted several times in earlier guesses doesn’t necessarily mean it appears that frequently in the final word.
