Approach #: Brute Force with Bucket-By-Length

  1. Initialize a hashmap buckets to store lists of words keyed by their lengths.
  2. Implement buildDict to populate buckets with the given words, categorizing them by length.
  3. Implement search to first check if there is a bucket for the length of the search word.
  4. If such a bucket exists, iterate through the words in the bucket.
  5. For each word, compare it with the search word character by character.
  6. Count the number of characters that are different.
  7. If exactly one character is different, return true.
  8. If the end of the bucket is reached without finding a word with exactly one mismatch, return false.
