0943. Find the Shortest Superstring

https://leetcode.com/problems/find-the-shortest-superstring

Description

Given an array of strings words, return the smallest string that contains each string in words as a substring. If there are multiple valid strings of the smallest length, return any of them.

You may assume that no string in words is a substring of another string in words.

Example 1:

**Input:** words = ["alex","loves","leetcode"]
**Output:** "alexlovesleetcode"
**Explanation:** All permutations of "alex","loves","leetcode" would also be accepted.

Example 2:

**Input:** words = ["catg","ctaagt","gcta","ttca","atgcatc"]
**Output:** "gctaagttcatgcatc"

Constraints:

  • 1 <= words.length <= 12

  • 1 <= words[i].length <= 20

  • words[i] consists of lowercase English letters.

  • All the strings of words are unique.
