Solution: Word Search

Explore how to solve the Word Search problem by applying backtracking and depth-first search in a 2D grid. This lesson teaches you to traverse cells methodically, backtrack when paths fail, and efficiently find given words within constraints, enhancing your problem-solving skills for coding interviews.

Statement

Given an m x n grid of characters, board, and a string word, return TRUE if word exists in the grid.

The word can be formed by connecting letters of sequentially adjacent cells. The cells are considered sequentially adjacent when neighbors are either horizontally or vertically neighbors. Each cell can be used only once while forming the word.

Constraints:

  • m ==== board.length

  • n == board[i].length, where 00 \leq i << m

  • ...
