This is a Mock JavaScript Interview with a FAANG engineer, where the prospective candidate must tackle an SDE 1 Level JavaScript Question, typical for 0-2 years of experience. The question, "Word Search", requires candidates to explore walking around the 2D grid. At each step, they have to mark a directional choice before proceeding, and then also revert their marking at the end of each step, so they can start fresh and try another direction. This exploration is done via the DFS strategy, where you go as far as possible before trying the next direction! Watch now to learn how to tackle this arrays problem using the DFS method.
