Find and Replace Pattern

Medium

You have a list of words and a pattern, and you want to know which words in words matches the pattern. A word matches the pattern if there exists a permutation of letters p so that after replacing every letter x in the pattern with p(x), we get the desired word. (Recall that a permutation of letters is a bijection from letters to letters: every letter maps to another letter, and no two letters map to the same letter.) Return a list of the words in words that match the given pattern. You may return the answer in any order. Example 1: Input: words = ["abc","deq","mee","aqq","dkd","ccc"], pattern = "abb" Output: ["mee","aqq"] Explanation: "mee" matches the pattern because there is a permutation {a -> m, b -> e, ...}. "ccc" does not match the pattern because {a -> c, b -> c, ...} is not a permutation, since a and b map to the same letter. Note: 1 <= words.length <= 50 1 <= pattern.length = words[i].length <= 20
