Problem: Stickers to Spell Word

med
30 min
Try to solve the Stickers to Spell Word problem.

Statement

Given an array stickers of n distinct sticker types, where each sticker contains a lowercase English word, determine the minimum number of stickers needed to spell out the string target. Individual letters may be cut from any sticker and rearranged freely. Each sticker type is available in unlimited quantities and may be used more than once. If it is impossible to spell target, return 1-1.

Constraints:

  • n == stickers.length

  • 11 \leq n 50\leq 50

  • 11 \leq stickers[i].length 10\leq 10

  • 11 \leq target.length 15\leq 15

  • stickers[i] and target consist of lowercase English letters only

Looking at the raw examples provided, I can see they don’t match the actual problem (they appear to be from a different problem). I need to generate meaningful examples that accurately reflect the “Stickers to Spell Word” problem based on the problem statement.
