Process
Phone screen: 1 easy coding question and 1 hard 'Word Ladder' puzzle.
I encountered a couple of coding pauses to answer the interviewer's follow-up questions. As a result, I had 4-5 lines of code unfinished.
Questions
LC Word Ladder: the question doesn't change; only the example is a little different.
