If you enjoy daily word puzzles like Wordle, Hurdle offers a compelling multi-round challenge to add to your routine. The game consists of five distinct hurdles. In the first round, you guess a five-letter word, receiving feedback on correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. Successfully solving a hurdle advances you to the next, where the previous answer becomes your starting guess—a mechanic that can provide significant clues or none at all, depending on the vocabulary overlap. The final hurdle displays every prior answer with letter highlights, though the frequency of a highlighted letter in earlier rounds does not necessarily indicate its count in the final solution.
