893\. Groups of Special-Equivalent Strings

Medium

You are given an array of strings of the same length `words`.

In one **move**, you can swap any two even indexed characters or any two odd indexed characters of a string `words[i]`.

Two strings `words[i]` and `words[j]` are **special-equivalent** if after any number of moves, `words[i] == words[j]`.

*   For example, `words[i] = "zzxy"` and `words[j] = "xyzz"` are **special-equivalent** because we may make the moves `"zzxy" -> "xzzy" -> "xyzz"`.

A **group of special-equivalent strings** from `words` is a non-empty subset of words such that:

*   Every pair of strings in the group are special equivalent, and
*   The group is the largest size possible (i.e., there is not a string `words[i]` not in the group such that `words[i]` is special-equivalent to every string in the group).

Return _the number of **groups of special-equivalent strings** from_ `words`.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** words = ["abcd","cdab","cbad","xyzz","zzxy","zzyx"]

**Output:** 3

**Explanation:**

One group is ["abcd", "cdab", "cbad"], since they are all pairwise special equivalent, and none of the other

strings is all pairwise special equivalent to these.

The other two groups are ["xyzz", "zzxy"] and ["zzyx"].

Note that in particular, "zzxy" is not special equivalent to "zzyx".

**Example 2:**

**Input:** words = ["abc","acb","bac","bca","cab","cba"]

**Output:** 3

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= words.length <= 1000`
*   `1 <= words[i].length <= 20`
*   `words[i]` consist of lowercase English letters.
*   All the strings are of the same length.
