Interview Prompt
A search-indexing step normalizes raw queries by checking them against an approved vocabulary. Given a query string `s` and the list `word_dict`, return whether `s` can be built entirely from vocabulary terms placed back to back.
Summary
Every character has to come from a word you already know.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
