Today’s Hurdle answers and hints
Hurdle is a five-round daily word game designed for players who enjoy puzzles such as Wordle. Each round asks players to identify a word while using feedback from their guesses. Correct, misplaced and incorrect letters are shown after each attempt, helping narrow down the answer.
The first Hurdle answer is RUMOR, based on the hint “Gossip.” After solving the first round, the answer is carried forward as the opening guess for the next hurdle. Depending on the relationship between the words, that previous answer may provide several useful clues or none at all.
Hurdle Word 2, 3 and 4 answers
The second Hurdle hint is “Caregiver,” and the answer is NURSE. The third round offers the hint “Gloss,” leading to the answer GLAZE. For the fourth round, the clue is “The intern,” and the correct answer is GOFER.
As in the earlier rounds, players can use the letter feedback from each guess to determine which letters are correctly placed, which belong elsewhere in the word and which are not included. The sequence of answers is RUMOR, NURSE, GLAZE and GOFER.
Final Hurdle answer
The final Hurdle hint is “Each month has 12.” The answer is MONTH. In this last round, all correct answers from the previous hurdles are displayed, with correctly placed and misplaced letters clearly identified.
One important gameplay detail is that the number of times a letter is highlighted in earlier guesses does not necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final Hurdle. Players should therefore consider the placement feedback and the clue together rather than assuming every highlight represents a separate instance of the letter.
Why This Matters
Hurdle adds a cumulative challenge to the familiar daily word-game format. Instead of solving only one word, players work through five connected rounds, with each completed answer becoming part of the solving process for the next stage. The final round uses information gathered across the entire game, making earlier guesses relevant to the end.
For players who finish Hurdle and want more puzzles, Mashable also offers a games hub featuring Mahjong, Sudoku, a free crossword and other games.
