Everything you need to win.
By on May 2, 2026
If you enjoy playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a fantastic addition to your routine. The game consists of five rounds. In the first round, you try to guess the word, with feedback on correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters for each guess. Once you guess correctly, you move to the next hurdle, using the answer from the previous hurdle as your starting guess. Depending on the words, this can provide multiple clues or none at all. For the final hurdle, all correct answers from earlier rounds are shown, with clear indications of correct and misplaced letters.
Note that the frequency a letter appears in highlighted guesses doesn’t necessarily match its frequency in the final hurdle.
