The problem: Given two words (start and end), and a dictionary, find the length of shortest transformation sequence from start to end, such that: Only one letter can be changed at a time Each intermediate word must exist in the dictionary For example, Given: start = "hit" end = "cog" dict = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log"] As one shortest transformation is "hit" -> "hot" -> "dot" -> "dog" -> "cog", return its length 5. Note: Return 0 if there is no such transformation sequence. All words have the same length. All words contain only lowercase alphabetic characters.
