Hurdle Daily
Five linked words. Each answer becomes part of the next challenge.
What is the daily Hurdle?
Hurdle is a five-stage word puzzle, and this page carries the shared daily sequence: the same five words for everyone, once per day, with a calendar streak for finishing the run. Each stage uses familiar five-letter feedback - green letters are correct and in place, yellow letters belong elsewhere, and grey letters are absent. The twist is the relay structure: solve one word and that answer is automatically scored as the opening row of the next board.
The first four Hurdles each have a six-row board. Stages two through four begin with one carried answer, so five rows remain for your own guesses. The fifth and final Hurdle starts with all four earlier answers already scored against the last hidden word. That leaves only two open rows, but also gives you twenty letters of evidence before you type anything.
How to play
- Solve the first five-letter word in six guesses or fewer.
- Read that answer as the prefilled first row on Hurdle two, then solve the new word.
- Repeat the carry-forward pattern through Hurdles three and four.
- Use all four earlier answers as clues on the final board.
- Solve the fifth word in one of the two remaining rows to complete the daily run.
