DSA Python 2025 – Word Ladder II | All Shortest Paths Using BFS | Leetcode 126 – Part 130 [Hindi]

🚀 Welcome to Part 130 of Code & Debug’s DSA Python Course 2025!
In this lecture, we tackle Leetcode 126: Word Ladder II, where we’re 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.
📚 What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ Modeling the word transformation as a graph
✅ Generating all valid sequences using BFS with queue of lists
✅ Tracking each word only once per level to ensure shortest paths
✅ Smart pruning with wordSet and chosen_words
✅ Time & space complexity analysis
💡 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 — making it highly relevant for interview rounds at top tech companies.
