Using Google

I was wondering something:

Are we now, that we are in the last stage, supposed to start using Google to solve these challenges?

I thought that if I use this.string.length everything would be fine and it wouldn't be about solving the issue at hand, but about practicing the thing we just learned about.

However, since starting this unit I feel like the challenges get harder and harder. That in itself is good, because we get more advanced, but the thing that is making it hard is not necessarily the practice itself, but instead the little details that we didn't yet learn about, but are still required.

I just wanted to ask if this is how it is supposed to be? I think it's good to start using google, as this is more like how it's going to be later, but in this case, it would be nice to have some kind of warning.

Also, especially in the Object Oriented Java Script course, please clarify the challenges much more. Often I failed in them, not because the content in there was too hard, but because the phrasing of the challenges was so complicated that I simply did not understand what I should do.

Am I resonating with someone?

Also, sorry for the super long sentences and bad grammar. If I would've had more time, I would've written a shorter Question :)
