Get ready for a thrilling word adventure with today's Hurdle! If you're a fan of daily word games like Wordle, you'll love adding Hurdle to your routine. This game consists of five rounds, each a unique challenge. In the first round, you guess a word, with hints revealing correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. Guess correctly, and you advance to the next hurdle, where the answer to the previous hurdle becomes your first guess. This can provide valuable clues or leave you scratching your head, depending on the words. The final hurdle is a real brain teaser, as it displays all the correct answers from previous rounds, but with a twist - the letters are not necessarily arranged in the same way they were in the original word. Here's the tricky part: the number of times a letter is highlighted doesn't always match the number of times it appears in the final hurdle word. So, you have to think outside the box!
But here's where it gets controversial... some might argue that this game is too easy, while others find it a fun mental workout. What's your take?
