Improved the tests :3

fixed

I'll fix it!

Description changed. I think it's more proper to still have the minimum amount of words needed for any max to be base.

Oh, I thought that even if the max < base you would still have words for the leftovers of the system from a proper understading of the system itself. But you both are right. In the way I defined the problem before it makes more sense your way

I think I finally have all bugs out of the way. Hope you all like it

fixed that too

Both things solved

fixed in the last version

solved

fixed the test suite.

I can make it work with BigIn, but as I pointed out, the point of the kata its not to be a good encription method. So if posible I'll just keep it as it is and keep testcase string short.

I think this Kata has historical reasons for it to exist. As you mention: "since the middle ages where Arabic scholars such as Al-Qalqashandi used letters and their assigned numerical values, systems such as the one described here have been used to encrypt messages". https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.02378

Maybe a little mention to history like that could be added to the description.

ofc the point of the kata is not to be a good cryptography method, rather give a second perspective into the basic number theory and symbols. I'll fix the test cases

Thanks

I find most kyu 4 more easy than this kata.

Maybe just return false if no solution exist, but I agree, your points are fair ones
