Solution: Word Ladder II
Understand how to find all shortest transformation sequences from beginWord to endWord by combining breadth-first search for shortest path discovery with depth-first search backtracking for path reconstruction. This lesson helps you apply backtracking and BFS effectively to solve complex word transformation problems.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given two words, beginWord and endWord, and a dictionary of words called wordList. Your task is to find all the shortest transformation sequences from beginWord to endWord, such that:
Only one letter can be changed at a time.
Each transformed word must exist in the given
wordList.The transformation sequence must begin with
beginWordand end withendWord.
Return all the shortest transformation sequences as a list of lists. If no valid transformation exists, return an empty list.
