Thank you, that solved my problem!

Has anybody got an idea how I can access vars from the preloaded section in PHP?

Please try again, I was refactoring the kata in Java some minutes ago. Just to be sure that this didn't cause your problem...

That's much better! Thanx again! :-)

Sorry, had to adapt to intermediate changes in Python version. It wouldn't take your translation easily, therefor the fork. Scala translation is up - Thank you very much for that!

I think the failure messages have to be improved...

Resolved. Thanx a lot for the Scala translation! I learned a lot from your test code refactoring and adjusted the Python tests to display better debugging information. The only thing I couldn't get right is that I couldn't suppress/replace the standard output of pythons codewars_test suite. It is always appended to my custom error/debugging messages.

Very nice, thank you very much!

OMG. it seems I'm too stupid to merge your improvements to the kata. I approved your Java fork, but it simply doesn't show up in the kata. I still struggle with some aspects of codewars. I'd copypaste your improvements, but fear that acknowledgement of your colaboration would vanish then?

Thank you for your help!

that's true, and I don't consider it an issue.

I simply wasn't able to add it, so that it'd work in those languages. Feel free to do it yourself

Thank you, I think I fixed it now. The random tests import the HashMap themselves.

The third sentence in the kata states: "There's a preloaded dictionary called alpha which you can use. Keys are lower case letters and the space."
