In brief
Today’s Hurdle runs from TYING to ABACK, with clues for every step if you got stuck. Use each solved word as a clue for the next round, but do not overread repeated highlighted letters in the final Hurdle. Originally reported by Mashable.
Start with Hurdle
Hurdle is a daily word game built across five rounds. Each guess marks correct, misplaced, and wrong letters to push you toward the answer.
“There are five rounds to the game.”
Solved words carry over
When you clear a round, that answer becomes the first guess in the next one. It can hand you strong clues or almost nothing, depending on the next word.
“This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words.”
Final clues can mislead
The final Hurdle shows every earlier answer with correct and misplaced letters. Repeated highlights do not always mean that letter appears multiple times.
First four answers
Today’s opening answers are TYING, SMIRK, FIFTY, and SLIDE. The hints were binding, a slight smile, __ Cent, and something found at a playground.
“Found at a playground.”
Final answer
The last clue is surprised. The fifth answer for September 16, 2026 is ABACK.
“Final Hurdle hint Surprised.”
The headline
Use each solved word as a clue for the next round, but do not overread repeated highlighted letters in the final Hurdle.
