Problem: Find Words That Can Be Formed by Characters

med
30 min
Explore how to identify words that can be formed from a given set of characters with each character used once. Understand efficient data tracking to solve problems involving permutations, anagrams, and character usage constraints. Practice implementing solutions in a coding environment to strengthen your approach to similar string manipulation challenges.

Statement

You are given an array of strings words and a string chars.

A string in words is considered good if it can be formed using only the characters available in chars, where each character in chars may be used at most once per word.

Return the sum of the lengths of all good strings in words.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq words.length 1000\leq 1000

  • 11 \leq words[i].length, chars.length 100\leq 100

  • words[i] and chars consist of lowercase English letters.
