Grind 75
A dynamic, time-based approach to interview prep.
Introduction
The Grind 75 is a tool built by the original creator of the Blind 75 (Yangshun Tay). It is designed to solve the biggest problem candidates face: "I have my interview in 3 weeks, I don't have time to do 150 questions!"
What is it?
Grind 75 is a dynamic list. You input two variables: 1. How many weeks until your interview. 2. How many hours per week you can study.
The tool then generates a customized, prioritized list of LeetCode questions that perfectly fit your schedule, ensuring you get the maximum possible pattern coverage in the time you have left.
Why use Grind 75?
If you try to cram the NeetCode 150 in two weeks, you will likely spend all your time on Arrays and never reach Dynamic Programming or Graphs. You will fail if you are asked a Graph question.
Grind 75 ensures Breadth over Depth. It gives you the single most important Array question, the single most important Tree question, and the single most important Graph question, rather than having you do 10 Array questions and 0 Graph questions.
When to use which list?
| Your Situation | The Best List |
|---|---|
| I have 3+ months to prepare. | NeetCode 150. Build deep, comprehensive mastery. |
| I have 2-4 weeks to prepare. | Grind 75. Optimize for maximum breadth in limited time. |
| I want a quick refresher. | Blind 75. |
Key Takeaways
- Grind 75 is a dynamic list that adjusts to your available study time.
- It prioritizes breadth across all patterns to ensure you don't have a massive blind spot on interview day.
