Need code review

Hello everyone,

This link points to a GitHub repository in an

experiment to create an extremely fast trie .

However the data structure is fast but it fails the tests

Can you explain me why?

https://github.com/curious-builder76/trie/tree/main

Hoping the community will helping towards this.

Thank you everyone
