If you enjoy daily word games such as Wordle, Hurdle is another puzzle worth adding to your routine. The game features five rounds, each requiring you to guess a word using clues from correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters.

Solving one round unlocks the next, with the previous answer serving as your first guess. Depending on the words, this may provide several clues—or none at all. In the final round, all the correct answers from earlier hurdles appear, with correct and misplaced letters highlighted.

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 hurdle.

If you get stuck on today’s Hurdle, here are the clues and answers:
