题目:给定一堆长度都相等的单词,和起点、终点两个单词,请从这堆单词中寻找一条变换路径,把起点词变成终点词,要求每次变换只能改一个字母。

解法:Leetcode中有Word Ladder,这题基本思路一致。

 1 // 18.10 Given a list of words, all of same length. Given a source and a destionation words, you have to check if there exists a path between the two. Every time you may change only one letter in the word.
