maximum-length-of-a-concatenated-string-with-unique-characters


You are given an array of strings arr. A string s is formed by the concatenation of a subsequence of arr that has unique characters.



Return the maximum possible length of s.



A subsequence is an array that can be derived from another array by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.



 


Example 1:



Input: arr = ["un","iq","ue"]
Output: 4
Explanation: All the valid concatenations are:
- ""
- "un"
- "iq"
- "ue"
- "uniq" ("un" + "iq")
- "ique" ("iq" + "ue")
Maximum length is 4.


Example 2:



Input: arr = ["cha","r","act","ers"]
Output: 6
Explanation: Possible longest valid concatenations are "chaers" ("cha" + "ers") and "acters" ("act" + "ers").


Example 3:



Input: arr = ["abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"]
Output: 26
Explanation: The only string in arr has all 26 characters.


 


Constraints:




  • 1 <= arr.length <= 16

  • 1 <= arr[i].length <= 26

  • arr[i] contains only lowercase English letters.
