Everything you need to win.

If you enjoy daily word games like Wordle, try adding Hurdle to your routine. The game includes five rounds, beginning with guessing a word and revealing correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. Guessing correctly advances you to the next round, using the previous answer as a clue. In the last round, all correct answers from earlier rounds are shown, with a distinction between correct and misplaced letters. A highlighted letter from previous guesses doesn’t necessarily indicate its number of appearances in the final round.
