That what I was thinking.

In the encodin, pay attention to the special letter, the spacing and the digits ;)

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

check the length of the encoded character, it should be == 8

I'd still agree with headliner.

Several subproblems requiring multiple functions and transformations (whether labeled or anonymous) is probably a 5+. This was definitely more time & brain consuming than any 5 I've done so far.

check spaces in sentence

I didn't try to decode it but the encode works for short sentences only

Try to do it step by step and not with a one liner, then you'll find your mistake

@SFM61319 your solution works fine and @headliner your solution is just wrong.

Same dude. I did exactly what they told me to, but the encode only works for short sentences and not long, number, special sentences.
decode works fine for me tho.

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

Cheers!

Beautiful Description. Thank You!

Great job, thank you man! :)

done.
