Unravel the daily word puzzle, Hurdle, on January 13, 2026! If you're a fan of word games like Wordle, Hurdle is a thrilling challenge to add to your daily routine. With five rounds, each one brings a unique twist. In the first round, you'll guess the word, seeing correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. If you guess correctly, you move on to the next hurdle, where the answer to the last hurdle is your starting point. This can provide valuable clues or none at all, depending on the words. The final hurdle reveals all correct answers from previous rounds, with clear indications of correct and misplaced letters. But be cautious: the frequency of highlighted letters doesn't necessarily reflect their count in the final word. Don't get stuck! We've got hints for each word, like 'It has a spiral shell' (CONCH) and 'A Kansas City footballer' (CHIEF). For the third word, 'Competently' (APTLY), the fourth, 'A style of pants' (SLACK), and the final word, 'To mirror' (MIMIC), we've got you covered. Looking for more brainteasers?
