How Hurdle works
Hurdle has five rounds. Guess a word and the game indicates which letters are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. When you solve a round, its answer becomes the first guess in the next one. In the final hurdle, answers from earlier rounds appear as clues, with correct and misplaced letters indicated.
Do not infer the number of times a letter appears in the final answer from how many times it was highlighted in an earlier guess. A highlighted letter does not necessarily indicate the final answer’s count of that letter.
