Hi. Here's my solution for the latest div3 problem D : https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1385/submission/87172064

can somebody please help why it gets TLE? I checked my solutions with some accepted ones and the idea was the same.

Most likely trying to memset f every test case is causing the TLE. If there are 20,000 test cases and you set 200,000 * 26 ints each test you'll run out of time.
