126 - Word Ladder II.

Hard

A transformation sequence from word beginWord to word endWord using a dictionary wordList is a sequence of words beginWord -> s1 -> s2 -> … -> sk such that:

• Every adjacent pair of words differs by a single letter.
• Every si for 1 <= i <= k is in wordList. Note that beginWord does not need to be in wordList.
• sk == endWord

Given two words, beginWord and endWord, and a dictionary wordList, return all the shortest transformation sequences from beginWord to endWord, or an empty list if no such sequence exists. Each sequence should be returned as a list of the words [beginWord, s1, s2, …, sk].

Example 1:

Input: beginWord = “hit”, endWord = “cog”, wordList = [“hot”,“dot”,“dog”,“lot”,“log”,“cog”]

Output: [[“hit”,“hot”,“dot”,“dog”,“cog”],[“hit”,“hot”,“lot”,“log”,“cog”]]

Explanation: There are 2 shortest transformation sequences: “hit” -> “hot” -> “dot” -> “dog” -> “cog” “hit” -> “hot” -> “lot” -> “log” -> “cog”

Example 2:

Input: beginWord = “hit”, endWord = “cog”, wordList = [“hot”,“dot”,“dog”,“lot”,“log”]

Output: []

Explanation: The endWord “cog” is not in wordList, therefore there is no valid transformation sequence.

Constraints:

• 1 <= beginWord.length <= 5
• endWord.length == beginWord.length
• 1 <= wordList.length <= 1000
• wordList[i].length == beginWord.length
• beginWord, endWord, and wordList[i] consist of lowercase English letters.
• beginWord != endWord
• All the words in wordList are unique.
