Today's Hurdle hints and answers for January 13, 2026
Dive into the world of word games with Hurdle, the daily challenge that will test your vocabulary and logic skills!
If you're a fan of Wordle, then Hurdle is the next big thing you need to try. It's a clever twist on the classic word-guessing game, with a unique five-round format. In the first round, you'll attempt to guess the word, and you'll see the correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters for each guess. If you guess the correct answer, you'll move on to the next hurdle, where the answer to the last hurdle is revealed as your first guess. This can provide you with several clues or none at all, depending on the words. The final hurdle is where things get interesting, as every correct answer from the previous hurdles is displayed, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note to keep in mind is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses doesn't necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
Now, let's get into the hints and answers for today's Hurdle:
