You are given an m x n
matrix board
, representing the current state of a crossword puzzle. The crossword contains lowercase English letters (from solved words), ' '
to represent any empty cells, and '#'
to represent any blocked cells.
A word can be placed horizontally (left to right or right to left) or vertically (top to bottom or bottom to top) in the board if:
- It does not occupy a cell containing the character
'#'
. - The cell each letter is placed in must either be
' '
(empty) or match the letter already on theboard
. - There must not be any empty cells
' '
or other lowercase letters directly left or right of the word if the word was placed horizontally. - There must not be any empty cells
' '
or other lowercase letters directly above or below the word if the word was placed vertically.
Given a string word
, return true
if word
can be placed in board
, or false
otherwise.
Example 1:

Input: board = [["#", " ", "#"], [" ", " ", "#"], ["#", "c", " "]], word = "abc"
Output: true
Explanation: The word "abc" can be placed as shown above (top to bottom).
Example 2:

Input: board = [[" ", "#", "a"], [" ", "#", "c"], [" ", "#", "a"]], word = "ac"
Output: false
Explanation: It is impossible to place the word because there will always be a space/letter above or below it.
Example 3:

Input: board = [["#", " ", "#"], [" ", " ", "#"], ["#", " ", "c"]], word = "ca"
Output: true
Explanation: The word "ca" can be placed as shown above (right to left).
Constraints:
m == board.length
n == board[i].length
1 <= m * n <= 2 * 105
board[i][j]
will be' '
,'#'
, or a lowercase English letter.1 <= word.length <= max(m, n)
word
will contain only lowercase English letters.
题意:给你一个 m x n
的矩阵 board
,它代表一个填字游戏 当前 的状态。填字游戏格子中包含小写英文字母(已填入的单词),表示 空 格的 ’ ’
和表示 障碍 格子的 ‘#’
。
如果满足以下条件,那么我们可以 水平 (从左到右 或者 从右到左)或 竖直 (从上到下 或者 从下到上)填入一个单词:
- 该单词不占据任何
'#'
对应的格子。 - 每个字母对应的格子要么是
' '
(空格)要么与board
中已有字母 匹配 。 - 如果单词是 水平 放置的,那么该单词左边和右边 相邻 格子不能为
' '
或小写英文字母。 - 如果单词是 竖直 放置的,那么该单词上边和下边 相邻 格子不能为
' '
或小写英文字母。
给你一个字符串 word
,如果 word
可以被放入 board
中,请你返回 true
,否则请返回 false
。
解法1 枚举+剪枝+DFS
枚举所有可放置字符串首位的格子,注意判断各个边界条件(剪枝策略),比如相邻格子、是否越界等,然后DFS看看能否向上、下、左、右放置这个字符串:
//C++ version
class Solution {
private:
int d[4][2] = {{1, 0}, {-1, 0}, {0, 1}, {0, -1}};
bool dfs(const vector<vector<char>>& b, const string& w, int i, int j, int k, int cur) {
if (cur >= w.size()) return true;
if (b[i][j] == '#' || (b[i][j] != ' ' && b[i][j] != w[cur])) return false;
return dfs(b, w, i + d[k][0], j + d[k][1], k, cur + 1);
}
public:
bool placeWordInCrossword(vector<vector<char>>& board, string word) {
int m = board.size(), n = board[0].size(), len = word.size();
for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
if (board[i][j] != '#' && (board[i][j] == ' ' || board[i][j] == word[0])) {
int ti0 = i + len - 1, ti1 = i - len + 1, tj0 = j + len - 1, tj1 = j - len + 1;
if ((ti0 < m && board[ti0][j] != '#') && //up to down
(i == 0 || board[i - 1][j] == '#') &&
(ti0 == m - 1 || board[ti0 + 1][j] == '#') &&
dfs(board, word, i, j, 0, 0)) return true;
if ((ti1 >= 0 && board[ti1][j] != '#') && //down to up
(i == m - 1 || board[i + 1][j] == '#') &&
(ti1 == 0 || board[ti1 - 1][j] == '#') &&
dfs(board, word, i, j, 1, 0)) return true;
if ((tj0 < n && board[i][tj0] != '#') && //left to right
(j == 0 || board[i][j - 1] == '#') &&
(tj0 == n - 1 || board[i][tj0 + 1] == '#') &&
dfs(board, word, i, j, 2, 0)) return true;
if ((tj1 >= 0 && board[i][tj1] != '#') && //right to left
(j == n - 1 || board[i][j + 1] == '#') &&
(tj1 == 0 || board[i][tj1 - 1] == '#') &&
dfs(board, word, i, j, 3, 0)) return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
};

//内存消耗:58 MB, 在所有 C++ 提交中击败了51.91% 的用户
解法2 字符串匹配
题意很显然,字符串 word
只能放置在两个 #
之间的槽位(矩阵边界也视作 #
),于是可以遍历(正序+倒序)每个槽位,判断 word
能否恰好填入该槽位。虽然思路有些不同,但是核心想法与解法一也是一致的,相应代码就留待日后更新。
