Solution: Word Search

Explore the backtracking technique to solve the word search problem in a 2D grid. Learn how to implement depth-first search to find a given word by traversing adjacent cells and backtracking when paths do not lead to a solution. Understand the algorithm's time and space complexity as you master recursive problem-solving in grid-based challenges.

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

  • ...
