Just how do you "Build a synthetic word array" your task needs an expanded explanation that does not rely on understanding your original code. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 17:04, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

By 'synthetic', I meant artificial, man-made, not a natural word. I thought the phrase: 'Build a synthetic word array of 28126, 6 character words in the form W00000 thru W28125.' was clear. If the word synthetic was misleading, I will be happy to change it or delete it. What would you suggest?
The inspiration of the task was https://what3words.com/
And the hardest part of the solution is building a suitable natural word list, which is beyond the scope of this domain.--[[User:Raslbg|Raslbg]] ([[User talk:Raslbg|talk]]) 16:40, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm trying to point out that someone might find it impossible to work out what the task is asking and how to complete the task without looking at already completed example code. We try to make the task describe what needs to be done for a coder who can program, but who doesn't necessary know about specialised fields (like geohashing for example). Some tasks use examples and/or pseudo code when they must.
Define input, output and how to get from one to the other. I just pointed out one issue in my original point. Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 07:56, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
