Let f(n) be the number of ways of throwing dices to get a sum of n, Then consider the last dice throw. It has 6 possibilities 1-6. So f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2) + ... + f(n-6).
The recurrence is correct. However, unfortunately, it TLE's. There is hope though. This is a linear recurrence can be computed for arbitrary values of n using fast matrix exponentiation. Here is a geeks for geeks article that illustrates the technique in action https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-nth-term-a-matrix-exponentiation-example/
My fav trick in such problems:
1. precalc first 20 values
2. use Berlekamp-Massey algorihm to compute n_th value of Linear recurrence
