## 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.
## Key takeaway

Each solved word becomes your opening guess for the next round, so early answers are the real clues.
