Medium
30 min
Explore how to determine which words can be formed from a set of characters by tracking character usage and applying this to problems involving permutations and anagrams. Learn to solve coding challenges efficiently by practicing these tracking techniques.

Statement

You are given an array of strings words and a string chars.

A string in words is considered good if it can be formed using only the characters available in chars, where each character in chars may be used at most once per word.

Return the sum of the lengths of all good strings in words.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq words.length 1000\leq 1000

  • 11 \leq words[i].length, chars.length 100\leq 100

  • words[i] and chars consist of lowercase English letters.
