Five words, five rounds, and the hints you need to clear today's Hurdle without blowing your streak.
In brief
Five words, five rounds, and the hints you need to clear today's Hurdle without blowing your streak. Each solved word becomes your opening guess for the next round, so early answers are the real clues. Originally reported by Mashable.
Five rounds, one chain
Hurdle plays like Wordle five times over. Solve a round and that answer becomes your first guess in the next one, so momentum carries forward.
“If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess.”
The final hurdle stacks up
Round five opens with every previous answer laid out, correct and misplaced letters marked. Careful, a highlighted letter does not tell you how many times it appears.
“The number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.”
Word 1: rounded
The opening hint is simply "Rounded." Five letters, and it starts with a C. The answer is CURVY.
Word 2: a collection
"A collection" points at something people gather into. Think teams, bands, clusters. The answer is GROUP.
Words 3 and 4
"A large animal found in Alaska" is MOOSE. "Simpson patriarch" is HOMER, which also happens to share letters that help you later.
Final word: to look into
The last hint is "To look into." Five letters, ending in E. The answer is PROBE.
The takeaway
Each solved word becomes your opening guess for the next round, so early answers are the real clues.
