Note:

As this is just a side project to practice pandas and numpy, this may not be very efficient and comes with some constraints:

  • Diagonally it can only find one word per diagonal.
  • Diagonal search is limited to Left to Right diagonal only.
  • In any direction, search will happen in a straight line, i.e. no reverse search

Well, I really wanted to solve these constraints, but with colleges reopening and my other priorities I am currently unable to. Might do in later.
