How to Play Hurdle?
If you’re new or just curious: Hurdle is a five-round word guessing game where each answer feeds into the next round, giving you extra clues as you go. Get the first word—then the second round uses that word as part of the puzzle, and so on.
The interface tells you if you’ve got the right letters in the right places, or if something’s just a little off.
What makes it fun, honestly, is when your first guess is wildly wrong and somehow sets you up for a better shot in the next round. I’ve had "OCHRE" show up unexpectedly, leading to a flurry of guesses for word three. Sometimes I finish in five minutes, sometimes twenty. But it’s always a nice brain stretch—nothing manufactured, just ordinary wordplay that gets addictive, one clue at a time.
