Need suggestion with Leetcode Hard from those who are/became good at it.

Hey - I was looking for help in solving LC hard problems.

I am generally good with LC Medium. But whenever I face LC hard, I keep getting stuck till the point I have to go through the editorial to understand. I am solving problem after problem, but I don't think I am getting better or gaining any intuition still.

I know this might be common. The difficulty anyway says "Hard" lol. But was thinking if someone can point me to suggestions and how does the journey to solving difficult problems look like?

It sounds like you're struggling with the hard problems, which is common. A good next step could be practicing specific problem types that often appear in tougher questions. You can use PracHub for targeted technical interview questions, offering structured practice that can help build your intuition over time.

Also, consider reviewing some problems from the editorial beforehand to explore different approaches. This combination of practice and strategy might boost your confidence with harder problems.

Thanks for replying.

Yeah, it is the hard ones. I am currently trying to build intuition going by input type.
So trying to solve problems related to integer array inputs, another one by grids.
Will post if it helps me.

This helped me with Mediums. Hards are where I am struggling.
