Hurdle hints and answers for May 26, 2025
If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

A galaxy from 11 billion years ago just reappeared in a shocking way
When NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped a picture of an elliptical galaxy, it caught something else in the frame: A bright, red arc of light wrapped around it.
That glowing curve isn't the sign of a broken telescope, but in fact another galaxy — about 19.5 billion light-years from Earth in space. It's much farther than the elliptical galaxy, seen as the central dot in the image at the top of this story, roughly 2.7 billion light-years away.
The strange, bent shape of the extremely remote galaxy, called HerS 020941.1+001557, is caused by a quirk of nature called "gravitational lensing," something predicted in Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity over a century ago. But the gravitational lensing here displays a special type of phenomenon, known as an Einstein ring.
SEE ALSO: Hubble spots a roaming black hole light-years from where it belongs The Hubble Space Telescope reveals a strange natural phenomenon among a galaxy trio image. Credit: NASAGravitational lensing happens when a celestial object has such a massive gravitational pull that it warps the time and space around it. NASA often uses the analogy of a bowling ball placed on a foam mattress or trampoline to illustrate how the fabric of spacetime bends. Light that would otherwise travel straight curves and gets distorted as it passes through the warped spacetime.
In this scene, the nearer galaxy SDSS J020941.27+001558.4, is acting like a colossal magnifying glass in the sky. This allows scientists to see the even more distant galaxy, making it appear brighter.
But gravitational lenses are known to play tricks on the eyes: They have the power to even replicate objects, the way a funhouse mirror can create multiple irregular images.
Astronomers are now adept at spotting the telltale effects of gravitational lensing, but that wasn't always the case. Four decades ago, the concentric arcs of light and stretched celestial objects could be downright confusing.
In 1987, an enormous blue arc, thought to be hundreds of trillions of miles long, was first considered one of the largest objects ever detected in space. The arc was discovered near the galaxy cluster Abell 370, with another similar object near galaxy cluster 2242-02.
Later that year, scientists at Stanford University and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Arizona sorted out that they were, in fact, optical illusions, distorted by Abell 370. The New York Times published a story about the "bizarre" implication of Einstein's theory, titled "Vast Cosmic Object Downgraded to a Mirage."
Einstein rings happen when a lensed object lines up with its magnifying object. Depending on how precisely they align, an Einstein ring can either look like a full or partial circle around the object in the foreground.
This particular Einstein ring was discovered by a citizen scientist, someone who volunteered time to help review images, through SPACE WARPS. The project relies on crowdsourcing to search for gravitational lenses in space images.
Gravitational lenses have become a handy tool for studying galaxies otherwise too faint or distant to detect, extending the range of telescopes. Because light from this distant source takes time to reach Hubble, astronomers are seeing HerS 020941.1+001557 as it was about 11 billion years ago, long before the universe gave birth to the sun and Earth.
And — surprise — there's actually a third galaxy photo-bombing this picture. It's called SDSS J020941.23+001600.7, and it appears to be intersecting part of that red curve.
Scientists just discovered a mysterious new world far beyond Pluto
Just when you thought you knew all the worlds in the solar system, astronomers go and discover a new object that could rewrite the space map.
This icy world, temporarily named 2017 OF201, could be a distant cousin of Pluto — and scientists mean "distant" quite literally. At its farthest point, it's more than 1,600 times the distance of Earth from the sun. At its closest, it's still 44.5 times farther than Earth.
What makes 2017 OF201 stand out is its very stretched-out path around the sun, which takes an incredible 25,000 Earth-years to complete. For comparison, Pluto makes a lap around the sun every 248 Earth-years.
How this world got to the edge of the solar system is a mystery — perhaps the result of close encounters with a giant planet like Jupiter or Neptune that tossed it out into a wide orbit. Or maybe when it was originally ejected, it ended up in the so-called Oort Cloud before returning. The Oort Cloud is thought to be a sphere of ancient, icy objects surrounding the solar system. NASA says the cloud remains a theory because the comets there have been too faint and distant to be directly observed.
The International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center, which catalogs new moons and other small bodies in the solar system, announced the discovery on May 21. At roughly 435 miles wide, 2017 OF201 could qualify as a dwarf planet, the same designation Pluto has had since its demotion from ninth planet in 2006.
"Even though advances in telescopes have enabled us to explore distant parts of the universe," said Sihao Cheng, the Institute for Advanced Study researcher who led the discovery, in a statement, "there is still a great deal to discover about our own solar system."

A composite image displays the five recognized dwarf planets in the solar system, as well as the new candidate 2017 OF201. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Sihao Cheng et al. infographicCheng, along with Princeton University graduate students, found the possible dwarf planet while searching for a potential "Planet 9," a hypothetical hidden world whose gravitational effects could be responsible for a strange clustering of far-flung objects beyond Neptune.
The team used computer programs to look through years of space pictures taken by the Victor M. Blanco Telescope in Chile and the Canada France Hawaii Telescope. By connecting bright spots that moved slowly across the sky, they were able to identify it.
These are the current orbits of Pluto, Neptune, and 2017 OF201. Credit: Jiaxuan Li / Sihao Cheng infographicBut 2017 OF201 is a strange outlier because it doesn’t follow the clustering pattern of other trans-Neptunian objects.
"The existence of 2017 OF201 might suggest that Planet 9 or X doesn't exist," said Jiaxuan Li, one of the collaborators, on his personal website. Their research is available now on the arXiv pre-print server.
The discovery also challenges many scientists' notion of the outer solar system. The area beyond the Kuiper Belt, where the object is located, has previously been thought of as fairly empty. NASA's New Horizons probe, which snapped pictures of Pluto and its moons in 2015, has since more than doubled that distance, though surprisingly, it still hasn't reached the edge of the belt.
That could mean the spacecraft will travel billions of more miles before reaching interstellar space, a region that is no longer influenced by the sun's radiation and particles. In 2019, New Horizons snapped photos of an icy red dumbbell-shaped thing, named Arrokoth, the farthest object a spacecraft has ever encountered.
If 2017 OF201 only spends 1 percent of its orbit close enough for people to detect it, that may imply what lies outside the Kuiper Belt is not so empty after all.
"The presence of this single object suggests that there could be another hundred or so other objects with similar orbit and size, " Cheng said. "They are just too far away to be detectable now."
Memorial Day TV deals from TCL, Samsung, Sony: Get a 65-inch TV for $299
Memorial Day tends to be a huge day of deals for mattresses and home goods, but those are certainly not the only categories seeing major discounts. TVs of all shapes and sizes are also getting the deal treatment this holiday weekend, making it a particularly good time to upgrade.
Many of the new releases from CES 2025 are officially on shelves, and some of those are even seeing some big price drops. Or if you prefer to stay securely in budget TV territory, you can find a surprising number of 65-inch TVs on sale for under $400 at Amazon. We're tracking all the best Memorial Day TV deals at the three major tech retailers: Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. It's possible new deals will drop as we roll into the weekend, so we'll refresh this list with anything that catches our eye.
Best Memorial Day TV deal TCL 55-Inch QM6K QLED 4K TV $498 at Amazon$799.99 Save $301.99 Get Deal Why we like it
Just announced at CES 2025 and released in March, the TCL QM6K QLED 4K TV is already shaping up to be one of our favorite TVs of 2025. For a TV in its price range, it gets seriously bright. CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) took it for a spin and also noted that its detailed shadows during darker movies clearly stood out compared to the similarly priced Roku Pro. It's not as impressive as its more expensive sibling, the QM8, but ultimately, CNET summed up: "For the money, the TCL QM6K has some of the best picture quality, including great black levels, for an LCD-based TV." The QM6K has already seen some impressive discounts since its release, but this is the first time the 55-inch model has dropped this low.

Amazon always comes through with some big TV deals during big shopping events, and TCL is usually leading the way. That's certainly the case for Memorial Day Weekend, with this 27% off deal on a TCL QLED Fire TV. Most budget TVs on sale right now offer basic LED displays, but this 65-incher lets you enjoy pristine QLED-powered visuals without leaving budget territory. It's also a relatively new 2024 model. This TV is powered by Amazon's Fire TV OS, so you'll have full access to your favorite streaming apps (if you have a subscription, of course).

Ruggable rugs are at their lowest price in years at Amazon (yes, even the Jonathan Adler ones)
SAVE 15%: Get up to 15% off Ruggable rugs during Amazon's Memorial Day Sale. Snag designer collabs for less.
Opens in a new window Credit: Ruggable Get up to 15% off Ruggable Shop NowRuggable is (if we’re being honest) pretty expensive. But for what you’re getting: machine-washable rugs that are both stylish and functional, especially for households with children or pets, it's arguably worth the price.
If you’ve been eyeing the Ruggable website for a good deal, you might want to check Amazon. Right now, you can get up to 15% off select Ruggable rugs, including those from the Jonathan Adler collection.
In our experience, particularly with their newer and more premium options, they've really stepped up.
"The premium 7-millimeter rug cover was plush, well-designed, and actually looked like a high-quality, durable rug," RJ Andersen writes in their review for Mashable. "The pattern was exactly what we wanted, and it was much easier to align with the cushioned rug pad than our first experience."

Casper is the best-known mattress-in-a-box brand, and there's a reason it's still so popular after all these years.

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
