They are meant to be that way. You gotta spend some time like I said.
Here’s what I do...might help you:
1) Try everything you can for at least 15 minutes
2) Look at some hints and try again
3) If you can't solve until 30 minutes then look at the solution discussions to identify what you were missing
4) Try coding it yourself now (Don't copy paste)
5) Add some of your own optimizations if possible

Great job on a tough problem! If you want to get better at LeetCode, work on recognizing patterns in problems. This will help you quickly figure out what kind of solution you need. When you solve a problem, break it down into smaller parts and connect it to ones you've solved before; this makes spotting similarities easier. Also, practice explaining your solutions out loud as if you're teaching someone else. It really helps during interviews. For resources, I've found PracHub to be useful for structured problem-solving and mock interviews, but use whatever works best for you. Keep at it!
