What are the differences between Wordle and Word Hurdle?

The main difference between the ever-popular Wordle and Word Hurdle is the number of letters that you will need to guess. Wordle sticks to a round five, whereas Word Hurdle opts for six to up the difficulty slightly.

Furthermore, Word Hurdle gives you a new word every 12 hours as opposed to Wordle's standard 24-hour cycle. This can make things more difficult as you have less time to guess the answer, but for any word game devotees, this also means double the fun.

Wordle 2 and Word Hurdle are the exact same game with identical rules, so there is no need to get confused between the two. 

The only reason for the contrasting names is due to the purchase of Wordle by The New York Times, as that meant that its unofficial sequel had to get a new name.
