AI Thread Summary
"Today's Hurdle" offers a more challenging experience compared to Wordle by requiring players to solve a series of words sequentially, with the final word needing to be completed in just two attempts instead of five. Unlike Wordle, which indicates correct letters, Hurdle only reveals the number of correct letters, adding an extra layer of difficulty. This format creates a blend of Wordle and Mastermind, appealing to those seeking a more complex puzzle-solving experience. The game has been described as more confusing and demanding, catering to players who find Wordle too easy.

For those who find Wordle too easy, try "Today's Hurdle." It's basically Wordle on steroids.

Can you say more about why this is "better" or "on steroids"? From a quick look at the rules it looks the same (says somebody who does neither so far)...
 
Wordle tells you which letters are correct, whereas Hurdle tells you how many letters are correct, but not which ones.
 
Wordle requires you to solve one word in 5 lines.

Today's Hurdle requires a sequence of incremental solutions, each building on the previous one,
and the final word must be solved in only 2, not 5.
 
Seems more confusing than Wordle certainly. Reminds me of a schizoid mix of Wordle and Mastermind.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
