Word Hurdle is the new name for the game that was previously known as Wordle 2. In this game, players must guess the six-letter word in six or fewer guesses. The rules are similar to Wordle in that players are not given any initial clues as to what the word is and all guesses must be words in the American English language.
When you make a guess, the colours of the tiles will change, indicating whether the letters you guessed are in the answer and whether you correctly placed them in the word. This game’s colours are grey, yellow, and blue, which have most likely been changed to distinguish itself more between Wordle and Word Hurdle.
In contrast to Wordle though, there are two words released daily in Word Hurdle, one at midnight and the other at midday. Both answers are covered in the same article, so scroll slowly to avoid seeing any spoilers for the afternoon word!

What is the Word Hurdle #171 (Morning) Answer Today? (April 14th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve the answer to Word Hurdle 171 today. I guessed the word ‘AUDIOS’ first (as per usual), which wasn’t the best guess for the word today as it only showed me there is an A in the word and the letter has not been placed correctly.
I then decided to guess the word ‘TRAMPY’ to see if I could place the A and hopefully reveal more letters in the word, and this was a better guess as it placed A and the Y correctly, as well as showing me there is an R in the word. I thought that there could be a double letter in the word, so I guessed the word ‘REALLY’.
This word placed the E and the L in the correct position as well and did not place the R correctly as the first letters, which meant it had to be the fourth letter. When I put the R in the correct place, it made it a lot easier to guess the answer to Word Hurdle 171, which is…
NEARLY!

Hint 1: Contains the letter P.
Hint 2: It starts with the letter R.
Hint 3: There are three vowels in the word today (one letter has been repeated).
Hint 4: There is a repeated letter in the word.
Hint 5: To say or do something again or more than once.
What is the Word Hurdle #172 (Afternoon) Answer Today? (April 14th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve the answer to Word Hurdle 172 in two guesses today. First, I guessed the word ‘AUDIOS’, which wasn’t the greatest guess as it only showed me that there is an A in the word. I then guessed the word ‘FATTEN’ to see if I could reveal any more letters and I wanted to see if there is an E in the word.
This was a good guess as it showed me there is a T and E in the word, although none of which have been placed correctly. I then decided to guess the word ‘TREATY’ as it places all known letters in a different position. Unfortunately, none of the letters were placed correctly again, but it did show me there is an R in the word.
The next word I guesses was ‘PLATER’. I knew this could not be the answer as it places the E in a position I know it is not in, but the word does use a P and L and I wanted to see if these letters were in the answer today and to see if I could place any of the other letters.
The guessed word showed me that there is a P in the word, but again, no letters were placed correctly. The next word I guessed though was the answer to Word Hurdle 172, which is…
REPEAT!
