No, you didnt. You just used a grenade AS a number. You did the exact same thing as everyone else who solves the problem, you just used an abstraction of a number.

What you’re saying is “I got four each of apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, and kiwis, and solved the problem without numbers by putting them in sequences.”

apple = 1
banana = 2
orange = 3
strawberry = 4
kiwi = 0

It’s not doing it without maths, it’s just using a different language. Instead of the number, you have a thing.

Also for those that may actually be interested, since this back and forth stirred my coding brain and the ugliness of my previous code, I flexed it a bit and wrote a function that does it for any number of wheels up to 35:

function combowheel(w) {
    let alphabet = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
    let array = LoopIt(w,"",alphabet.substring(0,w+1).split(""));
	array.splice(0,1);
    let cypher = ";!@#$%^&*:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    return array.filter((x) => x.split("").map((y,i) => (y == "0") ? cypher[i] : y).filter((v,i,a) => a.indexOf(v) === i).length === x.length);
}

function LoopIt(depth, baseString, arrLetters) {
    var returnValue = "";
    for (var i = 0; i < arrLetters.length; i++) {
        returnValue += (depth == 1 ? "," + baseString + arrLetters[i] : LoopIt(depth - 1, baseString + arrLetters[i], arrLetters));
    }
    return returnValue.split(",");
}
