I’ve just discovered your advent calendar (2022) and loving it! I’m stuck on (6) and could do with a clue. Is there anywhere you offer hints, or is there a discussion forum anywhere? Thanks ????

@Dr Lizzie: There's some discussion on Ravelry in the Woolly Thoughts group. Someone's hint for day 6 was: "Try it out for totals for 1,2,3,4… 8 Keep a note of how many 1 digit, how many 2 digit and so on for each number."
