Get ready for a brain-teasing adventure with Hurdle, the word game that's taking the world by storm! Are you up for the challenge?
For all you word game enthusiasts, especially those who adore Wordle, Hurdle is the new kid on the block that's here to stay. With five thrilling rounds, it's a test of vocabulary and deduction skills.
Here's how it plays out: In each round, you guess the word, and the game reveals correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. If you nail the answer, you progress to the next round with a clever twist.

But here's where it gets tricky: the number of highlighted letters from previous guesses doesn't always match the letter frequency in the final word. So, it's not just about letter placement, but also about word semantics!
