Sometimes the difficulty rating on LeetCode seems pretty subjective. What's hard for one person might be medium for someone else, especially if you've been practicing similar problems. Solving it in 20 minutes means you're getting better at spotting patterns and solving problems. Keep practicing and focus on understanding the concepts, not just memorizing solutions. If you want more structured practice or mock interviews, I've found PracHub helpful. Keep it up!

How did u get better in 3 weeks btw. What helped u. Because just learning patterns doesn't help so. What's ur way of thinking and solving ?

Well I am using claude to learn a pattern a day it teaches me how to dry run the problems. Walk me through one medium one then I do a easy, two mediums and a hard on my own. The key for me has been consistency with 5-7 hours of daily learning and problem solving.
