I don’t need a perfect instruction set, but dang if the examples couldn’t be better sometimes. Like sixteen was in there to show it only counted for 6, but nothing with overlapping text.

The example for me immediately showed my overlap bug with “eightwo”. There aren’t too many other ways to make this ten words overlap. 🙂

The problem is the example is actually eightwothree which comes out as 83 so if you replace from start to finish the example passes but the solution is incorrect.

At this point you’re just complaining that the edge case is not highlighted in red.

I think it’s the right amount of pointers to make you aware of the issue without straight up telling you.

Just don’t replace, or replace only the first letter with the numeral
