Re: 429 Word Transformation

Post by Mukit Chowdhury »

The pair of words of the second section of the given input will always be of same length... :x
It pains me a lot ... I thought it can be of different length after seeing a post ... Why this type of confusing post is allowed ... :x

Compare each pair of words once before you start the BFS.

@deadangelx....your test cases are incorrect.
Each successive word differs from the previous word in only a single character position while the word length remains the same.
You are changing the word length.
