    Hurdle Hints and Answers for September 12, 2026

    Today’s Hurdle Answers and Hints for September 12, 2026

    If you enjoy daily word puzzles like Wordle, Hurdle makes a strong addition to your routine. The game spans five rounds. In the first round, you guess a five-letter word with feedback on correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. A correct guess advances you to the next hurdle, using the previous answer as your starting guess. This can provide several clues or none at all, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from prior rounds appears with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

    Important note: The number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does not necessarily indicate how many times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

    Wordle Origins and Background

    Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

    Best Wordle Starting Words

    The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

    What Happened to the Wordle Archive?

    The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website’s creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

    Is Wordle Getting Harder?

    It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn’t any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle’s Hard Mode if you’re after more of a challenge, though.
