# Time:  O(n), n is the total sum of the lengths of words
# Space: O(t), t is the number of nodes in trie

# Given a list of strings words representing an English Dictionary,
# find the longest word in words that can be built one character at a time by other words in words.
# If there is more than one possible answer, return the longest word with the smallest lexicographical order.
#
# If there is no answer, return the empty string.
# Example 1:
# Input: 
# words = ["w","wo","wor","worl", "world"]
# Output: "world"
# Explanation: 
# The word "world" can be built one character at a time by "w", "wo", "wor", and "worl".
#
# Example 2:
# Input: 
# words = ["a", "banana", "app", "appl", "ap", "apply", "apple"]
# Output: "apple"
# Explanation: 
# Both "apply" and "apple" can be built from other words in the dictionary.
# However, "apple" is lexicographically smaller than "apply".
#
# Note:
# - All the strings in the input will only contain lowercase letters.
# - The length of words will be in the range [1, 1000].
# - The length of words[i] will be in the range [1, 30].
