Solve notes
Hurdle has four opening word rounds followed by a final word. The first four answers become the opening guesses in the final round, leaving two more attempts. Keep confirmed positions separate from letters that are present in a different position.
Start with the board or round where you have the most confirmed letters. A repeated-letter clue describes that answer only; it does not imply that the other answers use the same letter pattern. The answers below cover the date printed at the top of this page.
