Solution: Word Ladder

Understand how to apply breadth-first search to solve the Word Ladder problem by finding the shortest sequence transforming one word to another. Learn to implement this algorithm efficiently and analyze its time and space complexity.

Statement

Given two words, src and dest, and a list, words, return the number of words in the shortest transformation sequence from src to dest. If no such sequence could be formed, return 00.

A transformation sequence is a sequence of words ( ...
