advancedlayer I6 · Backtracking5 tests

Given a grid board of single characters and a string word, return true if word can be spelled by walking through adjacent cells.

  • Adjacent means horizontally or vertically neighbouring — no diagonals
  • The same cell may not be used twice in one path
  • The search may start at any cell
  • The board must be left exactly as you found it when the function returns
