You are given two strings, word1 and word2. You want to construct a string in the following manner:

\n\n\n\n

Return the length of the longest palindrome that can be constructed in the described manner. If no palindromes can be constructed, return 0.

\n\n

A subsequence of a string s is a string that can be made by deleting some (possibly none) characters from s without changing the order of the remaining characters.

\n\n

A palindrome is a string that reads the same forward as well as backward.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: word1 = "cacb", word2 = "cbba"\nOutput: 5\nExplanation: Choose "ab" from word1 and "cba" from word2 to make "abcba", which is a palindrome.
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: word1 = "ab", word2 = "ab"\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: Choose "ab" from word1 and "a" from word2 to make "aba", which is a palindrome.
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: word1 = "aa", word2 = "bb"\nOutput: 0\nExplanation: You cannot construct a palindrome from the described method, so return 0.
