Group Anagrams Together

Group Anagrams Together

MediumPython

Problem

From a list of strings, group together words that are anagrams of each other.

Implement group_anagrams(strings), preserving the order in which groups are first encountered and the original order of strings within each group. Anagrams are case-sensitive, and the output must be a list of lists.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(strings) <= 1000
  • 0 <= len(strings[i]) <= 100
  • Strings may contain letters, digits, spaces, or punctuation
  • Anagrams are case-sensitive
  • The output preserves first-seen group order and within-group input order
