You are given an m x n matrix board, representing the current state of a crossword puzzle. The crossword contains lowercase English letters (from solved words), ' ' to represent any empty cells, and '#' to represent any blocked cells.

\n\n

A word can be placed horizontally (left to right or right to left) or vertically (top to bottom or bottom to top) in the board if:

\n\n\n\n

Given a string word, return true if word can be placed in board, or false otherwise.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\"\"\n
\nInput: board = [["#", " ", "#"], [" ", " ", "#"], ["#", "c", " "]], word = "abc"\nOutput: true\nExplanation: The word "abc" can be placed as shown above (top to bottom).\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\"\"\n
\nInput: board = [[" ", "#", "a"], [" ", "#", "c"], [" ", "#", "a"]], word = "ac"\nOutput: false\nExplanation: It is impossible to place the word because there will always be a space/letter above or below it.
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\"\"\n
\nInput: board = [["#", " ", "#"], [" ", " ", "#"], ["#", " ", "c"]], word = "ca"\nOutput: true\nExplanation: The word "ca" can be placed as shown above (right to left). \n
