If you enjoy daily word games such as Wordle, Hurdle is another puzzle worth adding to your routine. The game features five rounds, with each hurdle offering clues through correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters.

In the first round, players try to guess the word. Solving each hurdle unlocks the next one, with the answer from the previous round becoming the first guess in the following round. Depending on the words, that can provide several clues—or none at all.

For the final hurdle, all the correct answers from the earlier rounds are displayed, along with their correct and misplaced letters. Keep in mind that the number of times a letter is highlighted in previous guesses does not necessarily indicate how many times that letter appears in the final answer.

If you get stuck on today’s Hurdle, the hints and answers are below.
