Hurdle players can use the following clues and answers for the November 3, 2026 puzzle. The game has five rounds: each correct answer advances players to the next, where the previous word becomes their opening guess. In the final round, answers from earlier hurdles are displayed with their letter placements.

One detail to keep in mind: how often a letter is highlighted in earlier guesses does not necessarily show how many times that letter appears in the final answer.

The first hint is “Compost,” and its answer is MULCH. The second clue is “Promise,” leading to SWEAR. For the third round, the hint is “Females have two of them”; the answer is OVARY. The fourth clue, “Record,” points to VINYL.

The final hurdle’s hint is “Exhilarate.” The answer is ELATE.
