Hurdle is a daily word puzzle game that challenges players to guess a five-letter word through five rounds. The game is similar to Wordle but adds extra rounds to increase the difficulty. In the first four rounds, players guess the target word, and after each guess, the game shows which letters are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. The fifth round is a final challenge where players must guess the entire word with no additional hints.
The game is available to play for free on the Hurdle website. Each day, a new puzzle is released, and players can share their results on social media. Hurdle has gained popularity among fans of word games like Wordle, which was created by Josh Wardle and became a viral hit in 2022.
For September 22, 2026, the Hurdle puzzle is available. Players can find hints and answers online, but the game is designed to be solved through logical deduction. The first round typically involves guessing a word with common letters, and subsequent rounds build on the information gained.
Hurdle is part of a growing trend of daily word games that encourage players to return each day. Other popular games include Wordle, Quordle, and Dordle. These games often have a social component, as players share their scores without spoiling the answers.
