The Twitter account for the game asserts that the game is "far harder, more fun!" than the standard version of Wordle, and it provides a new problem every 12 hours, in contrast to Wordle's policy of providing just one new puzzle each day.

wordle 2 was the original name of the game before it was changed. This was likely done to avoid a legal battle with The New York Times and to prevent the game from meeting the same unfortunate end as the Wordle Archive.

To tell you the truth, it's the kind of concept that makes you believe The New York Times would have adopted it by now. Given the large number of people who have subscribed to numerous copies of The New York Times, it is somewhat surprising that The New York Times has not been producing its own new, official alternatives to the various copies.

WordHurdle seems to be the ideal solution for people who have found conventional Wordle to be too simple, but don't want anything as challenging as Quordle or Octordle, in which the difficulty lies in locating numerous distinct answers all at once.
