( JS, possibly others )

• Random tests sometimes generate sentences ending in " ."
• Random tests sometimes generate words without vowels

These things make counting words difficult, because they are not normal syllables, words, and sentences. The reference solution counts "lbl" as 1 word and 0 syllables. This may strictly comply with the specs, but I'd say it's not in the spirit of it.

Sample tests is using Test.assert_equals but not the actual tests (they still use Test.expect).

Same issue in ALL kata with floats:

Don't round float results!

https://docs.codewars.com/authoring/kata/floating-point/

Decrementing 0 to -1 introduces negative numbers. It's not clear if they can be present in input too. If so, it should be tested.

At least in Javascript: The tests don't require rounding to two places simply because they all happen to be at two digits of precision. The description mentions ignoring dashes, hyphens, apostrophes, ellipses and abbreviations, but none of those appear anywhere.

You should add some randomness:

var txts = [
  // ...
]

for (var i = Math.random() * 10 | 0; i--;) {
  txts.sort(function() { return Math.random() - 0.5 })
}
