Problem

Paddle Billing may need to compare two normalized text labels and determine whether they contain exactly the same characters. Given two lowercase English words, return whether one is an anagram of the other.

Two words are anagrams when they contain the same characters with the same frequencies, regardless of order. Each input contains only lowercase letters from a through z, so do not ignore spaces, punctuation, or letter case.

Formal Specification

Implement are_anagrams(word1, word2).

Input: Two strings, word1 and word2, containing lowercase English letters.
Output: Return True if the strings are anagrams, otherwise return False.

Constraints

0 <= len(word1), len(word2) <= 10^5
Each character is a lowercase English letter
The input strings must not be modified
