If you're a fan of daily word puzzles like Wordle, then today’s Hurdle offers a fresh challenge that’s worth adding to your daily routine. But here’s where it gets interesting—this game isn’t just about guessing words; it’s a strategic test that keeps your mind sharp and your guessing skills honed.
Hurdle consists of five distinct rounds. In each, your goal is to identify the secret word. When you make a guess, the game provides feedback by highlighting letters in different ways: some are correct and in the right spot, some are correct but misplaced, and others are simply wrong. If you manage to guess the correct word, you advance to the next round, where the previous answer becomes your starting point—giving you a helpful edge. Depending on the words, this can either offer significant clues or leave you with little more than guesswork.
As you reach the final round, the game displays all the correct answers from earlier puzzles, with clear indicators of which letters are correctly placed and which are misplaced, making the final challenge both exciting and strategic.
A key detail to keep in mind is that the frequency with which a letter is highlighted in past guesses doesn’t necessarily mean it appears multiple times in the final answer. Sometimes, the game’s hints can be misleading if you rely solely on the number of highlighted letters.
And if you ever find yourself stuck on a particular word, don’t worry—help is at hand. Here are some clues and solutions for today’s Hurdle:
