  "account": "On September 30, 2026, Hurdle, a word game similar to Wordle, presented five rounds of challenges to players. The first round required guessing a word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters indicated for each attempt. Correct answers led players to the next hurdle, providing the previous answer as their initial guess. The final hurdle displayed every correct answer from previous rounds, clearly showing the accuracy or misplaced placement of letters.\n\nPlayers were reminded that the frequency of highlighted letters from earlier guesses did not necessarily indicate their exact count in the final word. If stuck, assistance was available. The game's daily hints were provided, such as \"Gossip\" for the first word, which led to the answer \"RUMOR.\"\n\nSubsequent hints included \"Caregiver\" for the second word, resulting in \"NURSE,\" \"Gloss\" for the third word, leading to \"GLAZE,\" and \"The intern\" for the fourth word, with the answer being \"GOFER.\" The final hint for the fifth and last hurdle was \"Each month has 12.\" The 12-letter word players needed to guess was \"MONTH.\" For those seeking additional puzzles, Mashable offered a range of games like Mahjong, Sudoku, and free crossword.",
