Descending Run

Three steps down still counts as choreography.

Anywhere in the digit string, three or more consecutive digits each exactly −1 — like 1987, 3210 or 987650. If the whole string qualifies, it also earns Fully Descending.

There are 29,841 in range — nearly a thousand more than the Ascending Run's 28,848. Once again the difference belongs to zero: a descending run can land on 0 (…210, …3210), while an ascending run can't take off from 0 — a leading zero gets eaten by notation.

By length: eight 3-digit, 145 four-digit, 2,107 five-digit and 27,581 six-digit — each tier slightly ahead of its ascending counterpart, for the same reason.

Mind the directional bias written into the rules: the Straight only honors ascents. A five-step fall like 98765 flows beautifully but earns no straight — only a Descending Run.
