This part is quite misleading! Initially I thought that Except for 1st person who writes the word, all people who write that same word after the 1st person will be considered invalid But the actual requirement is: Discard all words if any one has an intersection with others’ words which I only found out after going through the contribution view’s section…

A word doesn’t count if anyone else has also written it.

Missing tags

  • Hash Table

  • BFS

  • DFS

  • Queue

OTOH, this puzzle is marked as HARD, which is a subset of this task that adds-on a lot of requirements on output formatting, organizing input data and processing duplicate words …(that is ironically marked as MEDIUM)

That was an old puzzle and its difficulty was not manually assigned. The difficulty level is miscategorised for some of the puzzles classified in the same way.

I’m not sure what you mean. Could you please provide an example?

In the case of TEST 3:

{
'Phoebe': ['THE', 'HET', 'CUES', 'BYTES', 'HES', 'BYTE', 'BOY', 'SUE', 'BOYS', 'SET', 'SHY', 'THY', 'SOY', 'SHE', 'USE'], 
'Rachel': ['THY', 'BOYS', 'SUE', 'HES', 'SHY', 'BOY', 'SOY', 'CUES', 'BYTES', 'CUE']
}

Words such as BYTES, CUES, BOY etc. are repeating amongst different players. From the current description, it is not explicitly direct and clear that all such repeating words should not be considered, instead one may misinterpret it as Only the 1st person’s who wrote the repeating words will be considered, whilst the ones after not

Perhaps, it should be re-worded to (With relevant examples)

If more than 1 person find the same word, ignore it.

Understood. I’ve changed the wording.
