1138\. Alphabet Board Path

Medium

On an alphabet board, we start at position `(0, 0)`, corresponding to character `board[0][0]`.

Here, `board = ["abcde", "fghij", "klmno", "pqrst", "uvwxy", "z"]`, as shown in the diagram below.

We may make the following moves:

*   `'U'` moves our position up one row, if the position exists on the board;
*   `'D'` moves our position down one row, if the position exists on the board;
*   `'L'` moves our position left one column, if the position exists on the board;
*   `'R'` moves our position right one column, if the position exists on the board;
*   `'!'` adds the character `board[r][c]` at our current position `(r, c)` to the answer.

(Here, the only positions that exist on the board are positions with letters on them.)

Return a sequence of moves that makes our answer equal to `target` in the minimum number of moves. You may return any path that does so.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** target = "leet"

**Output:** "DDR!UURRR!!DDD!"

**Example 2:**

**Input:** target = "code"

**Output:** "RR!DDRR!UUL!R!"

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= target.length <= 100`
*   `target` consists only of English lowercase letters.
