exactly what I thought :'(

Everything should work fine now.

I made some changes in the description and added some examples.
Please take a look.

(And, I got to use the word "behemoth". I like that word!)

It IS an issue. The specification is vague, but says:

The words in the array should mesh together where the last few letters of one word will have the same letters (in the same order) as the next word in the array. (emphasis added)

The spec should be more precise than this, but whatever 'few' means, it doesn't really mean 'all'. Spec should be changed.

My thought as well.

Actually, looking at my solution, I wasn't happy. Too much repetitions...
Maybe you'd like the fork better. ;) (god, that's beautiful... x) )

you're welcome :)
and thx. ;)

not an issue: 2 times the same "word", meaning you get a full overlap:

'failed to mesh' should equal 'pencilcomputerwareratesratespricesdiscountcountve'

Basically I use it to continue the outer loop. Without the label the code would have continued the inner loop.

Thanks :D

The wait is over .. :]

Hey :) Thanks for the feedback !
That's actually a good idea.
I'll just wait for this kata to be approved by moderators, and see how I could create this followup
