Resolved (I am dim)

Never mind, it's because if The second A would need to be mareked as green rather than the first A marked as Yellow.

I seem to have coppied the guess coding wrong it should be: Yy-y-(-)yyy--y-yg, backets around added character.

Y = Yellow
G = Green

• = black

Which explains why it appears I've missed the M. Now ZINJANTHROPUSES could be a viable word.

Where is the M in ZINJANTHROPUSES?

SACRAMENTARIANS 
Yy-y-yyy--y-yg

Aren't you missing some letter there?

The guess:
SACRAMENTARIANS

Yy-y-yyy--y-yg

expects {'VOLUNTARINESSES', 'PENINSULARITIES', 'WITHDRAWNNESSES', 'PENETRATIVENESS'}

but I believe ZINJANTHROPUSES should also be included. I can't see why that would be exlcuded.

нет необходимости переписывать функцию, взгляните на литкод. оператор % тоже устарел, однако его продолжают использовать)

there is no reason for the "special rule" to be buried at the bottom of the description, after the I/O and examples. it makes it harder to see all rules at a glance; it forces one to have to scroll back to the beginning of the description

since Python 3.9, type hints such as List, Tuple or Set are deprecated in favor of using types directly, e.g. list[str] or tuple[int, int]. the initial code should be rewritten in consequence

Preloaded func signature looks like leetcode

I accidently created a solution that does not always pass the random tests.

The task is simple, but the logic of the code is hidden in an extremely unsuccessful presentation of special rules.

Update to python 3.11: https://www.codewars.com/kumite/648253876197bf26c5d4d7b2?sel=648253876197bf26c5d4d7b2

With "SACRAMENTARIANS" as the guessed word:

• the 'S' in the final position matches the S in both potential solutions, thus the 'G' in the final spot
• 2 A's in the guessed word but wrong position, thus 'Y', but the last 'A' is extra, so '-'
• 1 of the R's in the guessed word matches the occurance in the potential solution but wrong position. The other 'R' is extra
• same for T
• 'E' and 'I' should be straightforward.

'REPEATABILITIES', 'ALLOTETRAPLOIDS'
both examples match the hint
('SACRAMENTARIANS', '-Y-YY-Y-Y--Y--G')
Why?

The pawn is always in the last row as it will now turn into one of the four pieces ...

This is explicit. If you are not satisfied with it, make a concrete suggestion.
