Solution: Word Ladder

Understand how to use breadth-first search to find the shortest sequence transforming one word to another by changing a single character at a time. This lesson guides you through implementing an efficient BFS solution for the Word Ladder problem, explaining step-by-step how to manage the search space and track sequence length.

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 ( ...
