720\. Longest Word in Dictionary

Medium

Given an array of strings `words` representing an English Dictionary, return _the longest word in_ `words` _that can be built one character at a time by other words in_ `words`.

If there is more than one possible answer, return the longest word with the smallest lexicographical order. If there is no answer, return the empty string.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** words = ["w","wo","wor","worl","world"]

**Output:** "world"

**Explanation:** The word "world" can be built one character at a time by "w", "wo", "wor", and "worl".

**Example 2:**

**Input:** words = ["a","banana","app","appl","ap","apply","apple"]

**Output:** "apple"

**Explanation:** Both "apply" and "apple" can be built from other words in the dictionary. However, "apple" is lexicographically smaller than "apply".

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= words.length <= 1000`
*   `1 <= words[i].length <= 30`
*   `words[i]` consists of lowercase English letters.
