π Welcome to Part 130 of Code & Debugβs DSA Python Course 2025!
In this lecture, we tackle Leetcode 126: Word Ladder II, where weβre asked to return all shortest transformation sequences from beginWord to endWord by changing one character at a time. This is an extension of the Word Ladder problem, requiring careful use of level-wise BFS and path tracking.
π What youβll learn in this video:
β
Modeling the word transformation as a graph
β
Generating all valid sequences using BFS with queue of lists
β
Tracking each word only once per level to ensure shortest paths
β
Smart pruning with wordSet and chosen_words
β
Time & space complexity analysis
π‘ Why is this important?
This problem tests your ability to not just find one shortest path, but enumerate all shortest paths in a graph-like structure β making it highly relevant for interview rounds at top tech companies.
