Hurdle tips for tomorrow
- Treat each round as hard mode. The seeded guess is fixed, so build on its colours rather than starting fresh.
- Note letters the final word rejects. In round five, grey letters across four pre-filled rows eliminate most of the alphabet.
- Keep the hints. Arkadium publishes a one-line hint per round. Use it before revealing the answer.
