DFS + Back tracking:
1. 总是要抱着recursion的大腿的
2. 标记visited
3. 要还原还原!一般结构是 revision -》 recursion -》 restore
The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cell, where "adjacent" cells are those horizontally or vertically neighboring. The same letter cell may not be used more than once.
For example,
Given board =
[ ["ABCE"], ["SFCS"], ["ADEE"] ]word =
"ABCCED"
, -> returns
true
,
word =
"SEE"
, -> returns
true
,
word = "ABCB"
, -> returns false
.

for (int j = 0; j < board[0].length; j++) {
if (board[i][j] == word.charAt(0)) {
