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 #161 (Morning) Answer Today? (April 9th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve the answer to Word Hurdle 161 today. I guessed the word ‘AUDIOS’ first, but this was not a great guess for the word today as it only showed me there is an A in the word. I then decided to guess the word ‘CREAMY’, which was a great guess as it placed the R, E, and A in the correct positions.
The next word I guessed was ‘WREATH’ which placed the T and the H in the correct positions, leaving just the first letter. This made it really easy to guess the answer to Word Hurdle 161, which is…
BREATH!

What is the Word Hurdle #162 (Afternoon) Answer Today? (April 9th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve the answer to Word Hurdle 162 today. I guessed the word ‘AUDIOS’ first, which showed me there is an S and U in the word. I then decided to guess the word ‘FLECKY’ as all the letters in the word have not been previously guessed.
This word showed me there is an E and C in the word. From this, I now know there four of the six letters, so I decided to go with the word ‘CURSER’. This was a great guess as another letter was revealed, the R. I then managed to guess the answer to 162 in my next guess, which is…
SECURE!
