Algorithm 如何从字母矩阵中找到可能的单词列表[Boggle Solver]
最近我在我的iPhone上玩了一个叫做“扰码”的游戏。你们中的一些人可能知道这个游戏是Boggle。基本上，当游戏开始时，你会得到一个字母矩阵，如下所示：Algorithm 如何从字母矩阵中找到可能的单词列表[Boggle Solver],algorithm,puzzle,boggle,Algorithm,Puzzle,Boggle,最近我在我的iPhone上玩了一个叫做“扰码”的游戏。你们中的一些人可能知道这个游戏是Boggle。基本上，当游戏开始时，你会得到一个字母矩阵，如下所示： F X I E A M L O E W B X A S T U 游戏的目标是找到尽可能多的单词，这些单词可以通过将字母链接在一起形成。你可以从任何字母开始，它周围的所有字母都是公平的游戏，然后当你转到下一个字母时，该字母周围的所有字母都是公平的游戏，除了以前使用过的字母之外。因此，在上面的表格中，例如，我可以想出单词LOB，TUX，SEA，
F X I E
A M L O
E W B X
A S T U
LOBTUXSEAFAME（来源：） 不幸的是，我对算法或其效率等方面不是很在行。我的第一次尝试使用字典（~2.3MB），并进行线性搜索，试图将组合与字典条目匹配。这需要很长时间才能找到可能的单词，因为你每轮只能得到2分钟，这根本不够 我很想看看是否有Stackoverflowers能想出更有效的解决方案。我主要是使用大3 ps：Python、PHP和Perl来寻找解决方案，尽管java或C++的任何东西都很酷，因为速度是必不可少的。 当前解决方案：
- 亚当·罗森菲尔德，巨蟒，20多岁
- 约翰·福伊，巨蟒，~3s
- 肯特·弗雷德里克，Perl，~1s
- 大流士·培根，巨蟒，~1秒
- rvarcher，VB.NET，~1s
- Paolo Bergantino，PHP，~5s（~2s本地）
接下来，从黑板上开始创建可能的单词并查找它们。我怀疑这会让你走得很远，但肯定有更多的技巧可以加快速度 随着搜索的继续，搜索算法是否会不断减少单词列表 例如，在上面的搜索中，您的单词只能以13个字母开头（有效地减少到起始字母的一半） 当您添加更多字母排列时，将进一步减少可用单词集，从而减少必要的搜索
我从这里开始。您将要获得的最快解决方案可能包括将您的词典存储在一个数据库中。然后，创建一个三元组队列（x，y，s），队列中的每个元素对应于一个单词的前缀s，该前缀可以在网格中拼写，在位置（x，y）处结束。使用N x N个元素（其中N是网格的大小）初始化队列，网格中每个正方形对应一个元素。然后，算法进行如下操作： While the queue is not empty: Dequeue a triple (x, y, s) For each square (x', y') with letter c adjacent to (x, y): If s+c is a word, output s+c If s+c is a prefix of a word, insert (x', y', s+c) into the queue 输出：
eleven
eleventh
elevon
entente
entone
ethene
ethenol
evolve
evolvent
hellhole
helvell
hooven
letten
looten

注意：此程序不输出1个字母的单词，也不按单词长度过滤。这很容易添加，但与问题无关。如果某些单词可以用多种方式拼写，它还会多次输出。如果给定的单词可以用多种不同的方式拼写（最坏的情况是：网格中的每个字母都相同（例如“a”）还有一个像“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa，那么运行时间将以惊人的指数级增长。在算法完成后，过滤掉重复项和排序是很简单的。我必须对完整的解决方案进行更多的思考，但作为一种方便的优化，我想知道是否值得预先计算一个数字和三元图的频率表（2个字母和3个字母的组合）基于词典中的所有单词，并使用该组合来确定搜索的优先级。我会选择单词的起始字母。因此，如果词典中包含“印度”、“水”、“极端”和“非凡”等词，那么预算的表格可能是：
'IN': 1
'WA': 1
'EX': 2
然后按照通用性的顺序（先是EX，然后是WA/in）搜索这些digram我建议根据单词制作一个字母树
