I applied online and within a few days received a request to choose a date for a 45-minute technical interview. They sent me a link to "collabedit," I believe, to familiarize myself with it.

Once I was on the phone with the interviewer, she sent me the link, and she had already typed the problem that I had to solve. The problem statement was unclear. When I asked questions, she could not explain well what she wanted. There was a lot of disturbance on the phone, so I offered to start writing some code, but she would not let me write until I came up with some idea of how I would proceed with the data structure she had in mind.

Unfortunately, we spent 40 minutes just talking and brainstorming, and then finally, in the last 5 minutes, she said I could start coding. I quickly wrote some working code, but of course, 5 minutes is just not enough.

Overall, I think they should have a timed online code assessment where these issues do not come in the way.

How would you create a dictionary with the given words?
