SUMMARY

"Today's Hurdle" is an advanced word puzzle game that enhances the traditional Wordle format by requiring players to solve a sequence of words, each building on the previous one. Unlike Wordle, which provides feedback on correct letters, Hurdle only indicates how many letters are correct without specifying which ones. Players must complete the final word in just 2 attempts instead of 5, adding a layer of complexity that some users find more challenging and engaging.

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.
