Word Hurdle is the new name for the game that was previously known as Wordle 2 and has now joined the Solitaired games website. In this game, players must guess the six-letter word in six or fewer guesses and there are two words released every day.
The rules are similar to Wordle in that players are not given any initial clues as to what the words are 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 have correctly placed them in the word. This game’s colours are grey, yellow, and blue, which have most likely been changed to distinguish itself further from the original Wordle.

On the website, there are new options you can choose to play, with a five-letter and a four-letter variation for you to complete daily. 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.
