Thank you for all the help. I published a new one at https://www.codewars.com/kata/68879d6c77dbd29efef56292 if you want to check it out :)

Hey, I made some pretty big changes (basically changed the whole kata) but for some reason I can't republish it. Do I need to remake the whole thing?

Thank you for the help. I'll shelve this idea for now and work on some one-offs first. After I get comfortable, I can redo the series to start at a higher level. :)

Thank you for the feedback! I see what you are saying about the sample and submission tests. My idea was to create a fun adventure, and while the team progresses, so does the difficulty. Should I start at a higher difficulty level, like 6 or 5? Also, can you explain the unique idea part? Is that referring to the problem being unique or the solution? Thank you so much for your help!

I replaced random numbers with random primes, is that better (apparently it is, now your solution fails)?

Right now I can't quite do that because the testing system takes too much time for a single test with high period. I'll try to implement that as soon as possible.

fixed!

Should be [0, 1, 2, 3, 6].

Dumb mistake by me. Fixed.

I updated the assertion messages, can you check it out ?

I've updated the kata:

• The "make it easier" feature with Latin script was removed. Now num_to_russian() requires Cyrillic outputs and russian_to_num() always receives Cyrillic inputs.
• The Floats section was updated, with much simpler "whole units" and "-ths".
• Every dictionary removed.
• Also fixed a bug with "одна тысяча" outputting "2000" for some reason.

Writing this through my phone, no access to the laptop.

I have noticed the tendency of people creating their own dictionaries for this kata, instead of using the given ones. And honestly, I don't blame them. The current description is still a complete dogwater, even after so many issues resolved.

I'm highly considering on removing the dictionaries entirely and make the description only in Latin. For Russian speakers, I will just put a disclaimer, saying that they don't have to read the following instructions and that the Cyrillic inputs will be valid. But I have a dilemma with russian_to_num(). Should I keep its inputs Cyrillic or change it to Latin?

If you have any more suggestions or you see a problem in my considerations, please, share them. When I arrive home, I'll get on fixing them, since this kata was abandoned by me since the end of May.

I've updated the description with a detailed specification of the input.

When there's a misspelling, it's difficult to know whether the case should be preserved without considering wider context, for example is it the first word of a sentence? But you're right that my solution assumes that the case should be preserved if it's a single letter. Let me modify the description to clarify this.
