Get ready for a brainteaser! Today's puzzle game, 'Hurdle,' will challenge your word-guessing skills! This game is perfect for those who love a good brain workout and enjoy games like Wordle. But here's where it gets tricky...
Hurdle consists of five rounds, each with a unique twist. In the first round, you guess the word, and the game reveals correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. If you nail the answer, you progress to the next round, where your first guess is the solution to the previous hurdle. This might give you a head start, or it could be a red herring! The final round reveals all correct answers from past hurdles, but be warned: the number of highlighted letters doesn't always match their frequency in the final word.
