In the september daily leetcoding challenge, the first question is - https://leetcode.com/problems/largest-time-for-given-digits/ which has been labelled as easy. I try my best to come up with an answer other than the obvious permuations based solution. After a while, I had given up and head straight to the solution tab just to look at the Python specific builtin function permuatation based editorial solution. What does that mean? The person who had tagged this as easy should be banned from leetcode for life. How on earth can this be an easy problem screwing up everyone. Leetcode editors - for the worth of premium subscription, please curate the articles and tag the questions properly. Agreed that there are great editorial solutions for a hand full of problems. But, the quality needs to be consistent for the worth of premium subscription. I am just sick to go through poorly tagged problems/ worded questions/ bad editorials. But, now it has come to a point that both the interviewer and interviewee are both dependent upon the Leetcode questions and everyone has to spend more time in understanding poorly worded questions/ bad editorials. Is the motive of this site to make everyone spend more time in the site or make a problem space/ solution easier for everyone to understand with great explanations.

NOTE:
I have the premium subscription for the past 3 years. I see that the official solutions that was available in the older leetcode site (6 years back) were more crisp and had fluid explanations. It had explained the "why" and "what" part of a solution or algorithm to the point. The official solutions (even the premium ones) of the problems in the current version of Leetcode does not have consistent quality. They don't explain the "why" part. Instead, they go on a tangent and say "what" works (that too poorly worded problems / wrongly tagged difficulty levels and questionable official solution) and that's it. There are few problems which has solid official leetcode solutions. But, they are very few. If the site is not charging a penny, then that is fine. But, for the money that is being paid, I don't think the solutions are upto the mark. It is supposed to save the time and provide to the point "why" and "what". I am not promoting other platforms here. I suggest to take a look at what other paid platforms does for the same or lesser money. I am tired of looking at multiple youtube solutions after paying $160 per year

Suggestions:

1. Have curated high quality solutions atleast for the "hard" level problems (around 300 problems). No amount of youtube tutorials explores the problem space and the solution space of the hard problems in the right way.
2. Have someone proof read the explanations and code quality for the interview setting.
3. Instead of focussing on adding more problems on the plaform (on an average 20 to 30 per month), please focus on having curated high quality editorials.
4. Instead of making Leetcode as jack of all trades (question bank, mock interview, discussion board, company wise questions, contest platform), make it the best in atleast one aspect. There are other equally good platforms which provides the similar or comparable experiences.

PS: I love the old leetcode site (6 to 7 years back) where the 1337c0d3r used to post top notch explanations and solutions. It is funny that the same problems which had his solutions neither have the official solutions nor his solution in this newer Leetcode site.
