How Hurdle works
Hurdle is a chain of five-letter word puzzles. You have six guesses for each of the first four hurdles and two guesses for the final hurdle, which draws on the answers from the earlier rounds. Green marks a letter in the correct position, yellow means the letter is in the answer but misplaced, and grey indicates that the letter is not in the answer. Arkadium’s Hurdle instructions describe these rules; its game page uses the same color feedback. Play Hurdle.
A note about repeated letters
Do not use the number of times a letter is highlighted in earlier answers to conclude how many times it appears in the final answer; those repetitions are not a reliable count.
