How Hurdle works
Hurdle has five rounds. In the first, feedback marks letters as correct, misplaced, or incorrect. Solving a round advances you to the next one, where the previous answer becomes your first guess. In the final hurdle, earlier answers are shown with feedback indicating correct and misplaced letters.
