Hurdle hints and answers for October 8, 2026
Hints and answers to today's Hurdle all in one place.
Today's Hurdle game comprised five rounds, each with its own challenge. The first round required players to guess a word, with feedback provided for correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters. Upon guessing the correct answer, players advanced to the next hurdle, receiving the solution to the previous one as their opening guess.
The final hurdle differed slightly from its predecessors. Instead of a single word, players were tasked with determining a five-letter phrase. The key to solving this hurdle lay in analyzing all correct and misplaced letters from previous rounds. Despite this, it's important to note that the frequency of highlighted letters from earlier guesses did not directly correlate with the actual count of those letters in the final hurdle.
For those feeling stumped at any point during today's Hurdle, assistance was available. Hurdle Word 1 hint suggested "Strip" as the word to guess, with the answer being SWATH. Hurdle Word 2 hint indicated "Pretend" as the target word, which players correctly guessed as FEIGN. Hurdle Word 3 hint pointed to "Feminine," and the answer was GIRLY. Hurdle Word 4 hinted at a common place found in public restrooms, leading to the answer STALL.
The final hurdle, hinted at as "Fondle," required players to guess the word GROPE. For those seeking additional puzzles, Mashable offered a variety of options such as Mahjong, Sudoku, and a free crossword, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.
