• Should use latest framework
• No random tests

Thanks

the "different" should really be bolded or italicized. Preferably both..

Besides, tttt contains four different ts and, therefore, four different letters.

unique would be a better word, IMO.

dear god..

I made same misstake, e.g.missed the specification

"a valid response word must contain four different letters"

tent contains two t and is therefore an invalid answer.

got

1 should equal -1

But Bob has 'tent'.

  firstWord = neat

  first = 0

  expected 1 to equal -1

But Bob has 'nett' in his memory.

And Mutations seems like a fun game to play irl :D

In the 2nd sample test case:

first word -> send

Alice matches send to rend
Bob   matches rend to lend
Alice matches lend to ...nothing

(so Bob wins)

Rhyming is not part of this kata, instead of that idea, the words must have three out of four letters matching.

Hi All,can anyone help me to understand ,how the rules are working...like in second test case whien Alice -->"send",Bob-->"lend",Alice--->"rend",then I can't find any rhyming word in Bob list but test said Bob wins?I struggling to find the rule of this game?Thanks in Adv.

Hi, I ran the kata reference solution against the case you've presented and this is the outcome:

starting word: hets

Bob   matches  hets to jets
Alice matches  jets to lets
Bob   matches  lets to ...nothing

(so Alice wins)

So, I'm not sure why you think bob whould win and that the expected result should be -1 other than it is possible you may be reading the feedback off-by-one (the log appears above the test result).

If I understand correctly, I believe this is one of the rules:

'this word cannot have already been used during the game'

Please let me know if I understood your question.

I believe there is an issue with Python random tests.
In the below case -1 was expected, but I believe it should be 1 (Bob).
Bob goes first, finds 'hets', Alice goes next, finds 'lets'
Bob goes again, finding 'jets', but alice can't find any word.
Therefore, bob should win.
