实现代码

class Solution(object):
    def ladderLength(self, beginWord, endWord, wordList):
        """
        :type beginWord: str
        :type endWord: str
        :type wordList: List[str]
        :rtype: int
        """
        import collections
        
        if endWord not in wordList:
            return 0
        
        wordList = set(wordList)
        queue = collections.deque([[beginWord, 1]])
        while queue:
            word, length = queue.popleft()
            if word == endWord:
                return length
            for i in range(len(word)):
                for c in 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz':
                    next_word = word[:i] + c + word[i+1:]
                    if next_word in wordList:
                        wordList.remove(next_word)
                        queue.append([next_word, length + 1])
        return 0

总结

用python写这个题目，是比较tricky的，下次还是使用java写吧（等我熟悉以后），效率太低了，很容易就超时了
