FAQs

What is the difference between hurdle and Wordle? ›

Hurdle is a daily word game that seemingly builds on the idea of Wordle, but turns the game up a notch. The game is a daily word puzzle that will put your knowledge of the English language to the test by increasing the pressure and difficulty as you play.

Each of these word games resembles Wordle, but they add more rows, columns and words to solve. Each game requires you to simultaneously solve a different number of words at once: Dordle has you solving two words, Quordle four at once, Octordle eight at once, and Sedecordle a whopping 16. Good luck.

You're presented with a mystery five-letter word, and you get six guesses to deduce what it may be. Every letter in the right place is marked in green, while a correct letter in the wrong place gets shaded yellow. From there, you have to work backwards to figure out what the gaps could be.

Hurdle is both a noun and a verb. As a noun, its most common meanings have to do with barriers: the ones that runners leap over, and the metaphorical extension of these, the figurative barriers and obstacles we try to similarly overcome. The verb hurdle has two meanings, and they are directly related to these.

Athletes can't deliberately knock down a hurdle in a race, but they can touch the hurdle. So, if an athlete is running a hurdles race and attempts to clear the hurdle while jumping over it in a “hurdling fashion," but clips the hurdle or even knocks the hurdle over, they can continue running.

While maintaining upright posture, step over hurdle while maintaining foot alignment with ankle, knee, and hip. Touch floor with heel while keeping weight on extended supporting leg. Return to starting position while maintaining foot alignment with ankle, knee, and hip. Repeat with opposite leg.

Can you play the same Wordle twice in one day? ›

Wordle is a daily word game you can find online here. It's fun, simple and, like a crossword, can only be played once a day. Every 24 hours there's a new word of the day, and it's up to you to figure out what it is.

This practices has raised questions about whether all players receive the same word. The short answer is yes. On a given day, players around the world have access to the same puzzle. However, the game updates based on the timezone of the player, meaning that some have access to a new word more earlier than others.

This loophole is possible for players who kept the old Wordle version open in their browser rather than refreshing or opening a new tab to play every day. Users who refresh or open a new browser are automatically redirected to The New York Times' version. This is why two versions of the game can simultaneously exist.

If you love Wordle and want puzzle games that take more brain power, you'll want to check out either Dordle, Quordle, Octordle or Sedecordle.

Do you use the same first word for every Wordle game? According to The New York Times, the most popular starting words are “adieu” or “audio.” Because both words consist of many vowels, they quickly make clear what letters are in the solution word.
