I understood the shoppinglist and numbergame sections perfectly fine. When it came to the letter game my mind has been completely destroyed. Is this normal? I'm going to keep going over Kenneth's code but I feel like if I don't fully understand everything in the letter game, then theres no point moving onto the next section. Is that right?

There's rarely a day of work I don't go home with a melted brain. What Matt said about checking into it on the side until you feel comfortable is a great piece of advice.
Not everything is always going to make sense, just keep at it and don't let it discourage. Sometimes taking a break and moving onto something else is exactly what your mind needs to reset and grasp the previous thing.
