At a glance

• Game Structure: Hurdle consists of five rounds where players guess a word using clues from previous guesses.
• First Round: The first round provides correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters to help players guess the word.
• Final Round: In the final round, all correct answers from previous hurdles are displayed as clues for the last guess.
• Letter Highlighting: Highlighted letters from previous guesses do not necessarily indicate their frequency in the final word.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it’ll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today’s Hurdle, don’t worry! We have you covered.
