wordpath.py

The problem is to find "word paths". What this means is that you find a path from one word to another word, changing one letter each step, and each intermediate word must be in the dictionary provided to the tool.

TL;DR

run: $ python wordpath.py -s rial -e foud -f ./tests/words

no path: $ python wordpath.py -s aaaa -e zzzz -f ./tests/words
