Writing your own minigame is always fun

Great kata, solved non-recursively!

Lo dejé de intentar hace meses, pero le daré otro intento a ver que tal :)

proba una forma recursiva. recorre el tablero y checkea si corresponde a la palabra, si lo es, revisa si alguna de las adyacentes corresponde a la siguiente letra y etc.

Usando las letras diagonales, se puede formar la palabra 'CEREAL'

I need some help, I've made the challenge with Javascript, but I have no chance to submit because of this("Random tests"):

TypeError: board[x].map is not a function

I have the same issue. How did U solve this?

My func modifies the board and this seems to persist across tests. That's pretty annoying

It should be passing all the simple tests as it is but it's failing.

This is a fantastic kata. I saw it as an opportunity to brush up on recursion and data structures.

yes, you modify board in function

Yeah for the JS kata I'm 100% sure my code correctly does what it's intended to. But the test cases are broken. If I make the result year less than the year they ask for, I get "expected 3 to equal 4" and if I make it less than or equal to, I get "expected 51 to equal 50". So, forget it. Seems like author put the wrong expect value in the tests. Or maybe there's some secret catch to the problem that I missed in the instructions. It's a shame Codewars doesn't show us the test inputs so it's impossible to debug why it failed. Anyway I agree with you, moving on!

Kotlin Translation which closely follows the current java implementation.

I have problem with this kata. In my IDE it returns True for 'BAILER' and 'RSCAREIOYBAILNEA' while in the tests exactly the same code returns False. Could you tell how it is possible?
