  "account": "Today's Hurdle game consists of five rounds to test your word-guessing skills. In each round, the game provides hints about the word you need to guess. The first round presents a young female horse, which leads to the answer FILLY. The second round' clue is something pointless, and the correct response is INANE. For the third hurdle, you must guess a term used for printing books and newspapers, which is PRESS. In the fourth round, the hint 'Not here' leads to the answer THERE. Finally, the fifth and last hurdle offers clues about a lyric or part of a poem. The answer to this final round is VERSE.",
