    @Spindle - Oh, thanks for that clarification. I have updated the Kata description to make "word" less ambiguous.

    Outside of programming, "words" always means using 26 letters. So I think their complaint is that numeric digits and slashes can be part of a "word" in this problem, even though that's not the normal definition.

    I'm guessing they want something like "c0de/wars" or "dingl3/m0us3" as an example.

    When I first read the problem, I thought only letters would be used in a "word". But since the other characters were easy to include, I solved it without limiting my code to letters. Good thing, too!

    Sorry, please tell me what special chars are you referring to?

    Solved it, but would have appreciated having an initial test case that tested for special characters.
    Initially set it up to solve a 5x5 by converting to character codes and then got dismayed when I had to include special chars.
