### Constraints:
- `1 <= word.length <= 25`
- `word` in addWord consists of lowercase English letters.
- `word` in search consist of '.' or lowercase English letters.
- There will be at most 2 dots in `word` for search queries.
- At most 10^4 calls will be made to addWord and search.
## Approach
```mermaid
flowchart TD
subgraph state["state — root TrieNode; every node holds a children dict and an endOfWord flag"]
R["root"] --- C["... children[c] ..."] --- L["endOfWord = True — a word ends here"]
end
subgraph addWord["addWord(word)"]
A1["cur = root"] --> A2{"more c in word?"}
A2 -- yes --> A3{"c not in cur.children?"}
A3 -- yes --> A4["cur.children[c] = TrieNode()"]
A4 --> A5["cur = cur.children[c]"]
A3 -- no --> A5
A5 --> A2
A2 -- no --> A6["cur.endOfWord = True"]
A6 --> A7(["done"])
end
subgraph search["search(word)"]
S1["dfs(0, root) — match from index 0 at the root"] --> S2["cur = root"]
S2 --> S3{"more i in range(j, len(word))?"}
S3 -- no --> S4(["return cur.endOfWord"])
S3 -- yes --> S5["c = word[i]"]
S5 --> S6{"c == '.'?"}
S6 -- yes --> S7{"more child in cur.children.values()?"}
S7 -- yes --> S8{"dfs(i + 1, child)? — try the rest of the word from this child"}
S8 -- yes --> S9(["return True"])
S8 -- no --> S7
S7 -- no --> S10(["return False — no child matched the wildcard"])
S6 -- no --> S11{"c not in cur.children?"}
S11 -- yes --> S12(["return False"])
S11 -- no --> S13["cur = cur.children[c]"]
S13 --> S3
end
state --> addWord
state --> search
```
## Solution
```py
class TrieNode:
def __init__(self):
self.children = {}
self.endOfWord = False
class WordDictionary:
def __init__(self):
self.root = TrieNode()
def addWord(self, word: str) -> None:
cur = self.root
for c in word:
if c not in cur.children:
cur.children[c] = TrieNode()
cur = cur.children[c]
cur.endOfWord = True
# Leverage Recursion
def search(self, word: str) -> bool:
def dfs(j, root):
cur = root
for i in range(j, len(word)):
c = word[i]
if c == ".":
for child in cur.children.values():
if dfs(i + 1, child):
return True
return False
else:
if c not in cur.children:
return False
cur = cur.children[c]
return cur.endOfWord
return dfs(0, self.root)
# Your WordDictionary object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = WordDictionary()
# obj.addWord(word)
# param_3 = obj.search(word)
```
