<p>Given two arrays of strings <code>list1</code> and <code>list2</code>, find the <strong>common strings with the least index sum</strong>.</p>

<p>A <strong>common string</strong> is a string that appeared in both <code>list1</code> and <code>list2</code>.</p>

<p>A <strong>common string with the least index sum</strong> is a common string such that if it appeared at <code>list1[i]</code> and <code>list2[j]</code> then <code>i + j</code> should be the minimum value among all the other <strong>common strings</strong>.</p>

<p>Return <em>all the <strong>common strings with the least index sum</strong></em>. Return the answer in <strong>any order</strong>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> list1 = [&quot;Shogun&quot;,&quot;Tapioca Express&quot;,&quot;Burger King&quot;,&quot;KFC&quot;], list2 = [&quot;Piatti&quot;,&quot;The Grill at Torrey Pines&quot;,&quot;Hungry Hunter Steakhouse&quot;,&quot;Shogun&quot;]
<strong>Output:</strong> [&quot;Shogun&quot;]
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The only common string is &quot;Shogun&quot;.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> list1 = [&quot;Shogun&quot;,&quot;Tapioca Express&quot;,&quot;Burger King&quot;,&quot;KFC&quot;], list2 = [&quot;KFC&quot;,&quot;Shogun&quot;,&quot;Burger King&quot;]
<strong>Output:</strong> [&quot;Shogun&quot;]
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The common string with the least index sum is &quot;Shogun&quot; with index sum = (0 + 1) = 1.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> list1 = [&quot;happy&quot;,&quot;sad&quot;,&quot;good&quot;], list2 = [&quot;sad&quot;,&quot;happy&quot;,&quot;good&quot;]
<strong>Output:</strong> [&quot;sad&quot;,&quot;happy&quot;]
<strong>Explanation:</strong> There are three common strings:
&quot;happy&quot; with index sum = (0 + 1) = 1.
&quot;sad&quot; with index sum = (1 + 0) = 1.
&quot;good&quot; with index sum = (2 + 2) = 4.
The strings with the least index sum are &quot;sad&quot; and &quot;happy&quot;.
</pre>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= list1.length, list2.length &lt;= 1000</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= list1[i].length, list2[i].length &lt;= 30</code></li>
	<li><code>list1[i]</code> and <code>list2[i]</code> consist of spaces <code>&#39; &#39;</code> and English letters.</li>
	<li>All the strings of <code>list1</code> are <strong>unique</strong>.</li>
	<li>All the strings of <code>list2</code> are <strong>unique</strong>.</li>
	<li>There is at least a common string between <code>list1</code> and <code>list2</code>.</li>
</ul>
