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.

It looks like this game has moved to a different website and there are new options you can choose to play, with a five-letter and a four-letter variation. There are some other games you can also play on the Solataired website, but this article will be covering the six-letter words as before. We will be covering both the morning and afternoon words in the same article, so make sure you scroll slowly to avoid seeing any spoilers for the afternoon answer.

What is the Word Hurdle #221 (Morning) Answer Today? (May 9th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve the answer to Word Hurdle 221 today in five guesses. I guessed the word ‘AUDIOS’ first (as per usual), which only showed me that there is an I in the word, but it hasn’t been placed correctly.
I then guessed the word ‘FRIDGE’ as this changes the position of the I and also includes letters that I have not guessed yet. This was a great word to guess for the word today as it correctly placed the I in the word, as well as revealing there is a G and E in the answer.
I wanted to see if I could place the G and E correctly in the word, so I guessed the word ‘RIDGE’ to see if it would place the letters correctly. This word did place the G in the right place, but not the E.
As the I is the third letter, I thought that the E would likely be the second letter and as the G was the fourth letter in the word, I figured that the word ends in ‘GHT’. Thinking this, I decided to guess the word ‘HEIGHT’, which showed me the word ends in ‘EIGHT’.
There is now only the first letter to be guessed, which made it very easy to guess the answer to Word Hurdle 221, which is…
WEIGHT!

What is the Word Hurdle #222 (Afternoon) Answer Today? (May 9th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve the answer to Word Hurdle 222 in four guesses today. I guessed the word ‘AUDIOS’ first, as usual, which was a good guess as it showed me that there is a U and S in the answer, but they have not been placed in the correct positions.
I then guessed the word ‘TRUEST’ as this places the known letters in different positions as well as using different letters I have not guessed yet. This was a great word to guess as it showed me that there is a U and E in the word, although none of the letters have been placed correctly.
‘EARNER’ was the next word I guessed as I wanted to see if I could place the E and R in the correct positions. This word did place the E in the correct position, but it also showed me that there is another E in the word. It also revealed that there in an N in the word, which means I now knew all the letters in the word.
