import (

wordLadder(words, pair[0], pair[1])

}

 

{{out}}

The function first expands a ball around the starting word in the space of possible words, until the ball surface touches the goal (if ever). After that it performs depth-first path-finding from the goal back to the center.

 

import Control.Monad (foldM)

import Data.List (intercalate)

showChain $ wordLadder dict "john" "jane"

showChain $ wordLadder dict "alien" "drool"

 

<pre>λ> lines <$> readFile "unixdict.txt" >>= print . wordLadders "boy" "man"

Performs searching from both ends. This solution is much faster for cases with no chains, and for for short chains. In case of long chains looses its' efficiency.

 

wordLadders2 start end dict

| length start /= length end = []

where g (b, r) a = (\x -> (x, x:r)) <$> f b a

 

 

===Using A*-search===

See [[A*_search_algorithm#Haskell]]

 

import qualified Data.Map as M

 

g = Graph $ \w -> M.fromList [ (x, 1)

| x <- short_dict

 

<pre>λ> main

No chain</pre>

Works much faster when compiled.

===Idiomatic version===

<b>Exactly</b> the same algorithm, written in a more Perl-ish style. Is this better, or worse? Maybe both. Interestingly, runs 1/3-rd faster.

use feature 'say';

Same style output.

The function ''cache'' is not part of the algorithm but avoid re-download and map re-computing at each re-run.
