For daily word game enthusiasts, Hurdle is an exciting addition to activities like Wordle. This engaging game is structured around five rounds where players attempt to guess words based on feedback provided after each guess. In the initial round, participants are tasked with uncovering a word. The game highlights correct letters, misplaced letters, and those that do not belong at all.
Successfully guessing a word will lead players to the next hurdle, using the answer from the prior round to kick off their next attempt. This feature can be both beneficial and occasionally cryptic, offering varying levels of clues from previous rounds. By the final hurdle, all prior correct answers are displayed, aiding players in piecing together the final solution.
A crucial aspect of the game is understanding that the frequency of highlighted letters in previous guesses does not necessarily correlate with the number of times those letters appear in the ultimate answer.
