Everything you need to win.

If you enjoy playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great addition to your routine. The game consists of five rounds. In the first round, you guess the word with feedback on correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. A correct guess moves you to the next hurdle, using the previous answer as your starting guess. This may provide several clues or none. For the final hurdle, all correct answers from earlier hurdles are displayed with feedback on letter positions.

Note that the frequency of a highlighted letter from past guesses doesn’t indicate how often it appears in the final hurdle.
