PR details
The current java solution for the Word Search problem includes an edge case check which is not correct(screenshots attached for reference).
RCA
Test case:
The check runs:
and returns:
But the full word is "ab" — which obviously cannot be found in a 1×1 grid.
So we prematurely return true even though the full word doesn’t match.
Fix
The backtracking logic already handles single-cell boards correctly.
