The algo sets the variable min to a new value once it finds a word short than the current min value.

Can somebody help me? My encode function works with short words but not with long words.
What could be the reason?

Beautiful Description. Thank You!

After i took a Look at the solutions, i have to say: This is a really really hard 6kyu exercise.

I timed out in Python using while loop + sorted command

There is a right-trim function in Python. It's called .rstrip()

I tried this exact solution and it timed out.

lol

Had the same question. Would be really handy if this was explained in the description of the kata :)

As stated in the instructions:
"abacad" will return "abcd-a-a"
"abbacad" will then return "abcd-ab-a" ?

If yes, could you add this as an example?
THX

dumb

This should be at least 5kyu. Its hard.
