Word Hurdle

A daily challenge that gets your brain moving

Word Hurdle is the kind of game that hooks you without trying too hard. It’s straightforward: guess a 6-letter word using logic, trial and error, and a bit of vocabulary muscle. There’s only one puzzle a day—so it’s short, sweet, and surprisingly addictive.

The best part? You’ll walk away either feeling clever… or determined to come back tomorrow and do better.

How to play Word Hurdle

Type any 6-letter word into the grid and hit enter. The game uses color to give you hints:

• Green: right letter, right spot
• Yellow: right letter, wrong spot
• Gray: not in the word at all

From there, it’s all about deduction. Use the clues, adjust your guesses, and slowly close in on the correct word. No timers, no pressure—just one clean challenge per day.

It works great on both desktop and mobile, so you can play whenever the mood strikes.

Why players love Word Hurdle

There’s something relaxing about how focused it is. No flashy graphics, no distractions—just a clean grid and a mental puzzle. You get better the more you play, and solving a tough one feels genuinely rewarding.

It also makes a great coffee-break game. One puzzle a day keeps it light but habit-forming.

Tips for smarter solving

• Begin with a “balanced” word—something with common vowels and consonants like stripe or planet.
• Avoid repeating gray letters. They’re confirmed duds.
• Pay close attention to yellow letters—they’re in the word, just not where you guessed.
