Hints and answers to today's Hurdle all in one place.

Hurdle hints and answers for October 16, 2026

Hurdle is a word game similar to Wordle, with five rounds to complete. In each round, players attempt to guess a word based on clues provided. After guessing correctly, the next hurdle (word) becomes available, with the previous answer serving as the first guess. The final hurdle reveals all previous answers, showing correct and misplaced letters.

To aid players, hints are provided for each word. For instance, the first word is a vital organ, leading to the answer HEART. The second word is breezy, with the answer WINDY. The third word is a verdict decider, and the solution is JUROR.

The fourth word is an elevated toilet, and the answer is BIDET. The final word prompts players with a sheep's call, and the answer is BLEAT.

Should players find themselves stuck, additional hints are available. For a broader selection of puzzles, Mashable offers games such as Mahjong, Sudoku, and a free crossword.
