  "account": "On August 31, 2026, players of the word game Hurdle were given a new set of clues to solve five rounds of puzzles. The first round required players to guess a word associated with a \"short era,\" with the answer being PHASE. In the second round, players had to identify a spot where a cow produces milk, which proved to be UDDER.\n\nThe third hurdle presented a clue about a \"military sword,\" leading players to the word SABRE. For the fourth round, the hint was about a type of drum, and the correct answer was SNARE.\n\nIn the final and most challenging hurdle, players were given a clue about \"a row of bushes.\" The answer to this final round was HEDGE. Hurdle players can find more games such as Mahjong, Sudoku, and free crossword on Mashable's games hub.",
