Solution: Word Ladder

Explore the Word Ladder problem and learn to use breadth-first search to find the shortest transformation sequence from a source word to a destination word. Understand how to efficiently traverse word transformations by checking adjacent words differing by one character, and apply BFS to determine the minimal steps required. This lesson helps you implement and analyze the solution in C++, enhancing your skills in tree traversal algorithms.

Statement

Given two words, src and dest, and a list, words, return the number of words in the shortest transformation sequence from src to dest. If no such sequence could be formed, return 00.

A transformation sequence is a sequence of words ( ...
