<p>You are given two strings <code>word1</code> and <code>word2</code>. Merge the strings by adding letters in alternating order, starting with <code>word1</code>. If a string is longer than the other, append the additional letters onto the end of the merged string.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Return <em>the merged string.</em></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p> </p>
 | 
						|
<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
<strong>Input:</strong> word1 = "abc", word2 = "pqr"
 | 
						|
<strong>Output:</strong> "apbqcr"
 | 
						|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The merged string will be merged as so:
 | 
						|
word1:  a   b   c
 | 
						|
word2:    p   q   r
 | 
						|
merged: a p b q c r
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
<strong>Input:</strong> word1 = "ab", word2 = "pqrs"
 | 
						|
<strong>Output:</strong> "apbqrs"
 | 
						|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Notice that as word2 is longer, "rs" is appended to the end.
 | 
						|
word1:  a   b 
 | 
						|
word2:    p   q   r   s
 | 
						|
merged: a p b q   r   s
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
<strong>Input:</strong> word1 = "abcd", word2 = "pq"
 | 
						|
<strong>Output:</strong> "apbqcd"
 | 
						|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Notice that as word1 is longer, "cd" is appended to the end.
 | 
						|
word1:  a   b   c   d
 | 
						|
word2:    p   q 
 | 
						|
merged: a p b q c   d
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p> </p>
 | 
						|
<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
	<li><code>1 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 100</code></li>
 | 
						|
	<li><code>word1</code> and <code>word2</code> consist of lowercase English letters.</li>
 | 
						|
</ul> |
