MODERATORS
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.
I'm not really sure how to interpret your comment but I'll try my best. The edge case that causes some solutions to fail does not have any definition on how to handle it on the problem page. In other words, it does not state anywhere whether the correct interpretation of
1threeightis meant to be18or13. If your solution replaces the words to numbers from left to right you end up with13as the value but it's meant to be18.The example answers don't cover this but you will realise something is wrong if you run it against your full problem. Community has been very helpful on providing pointers.
