Maximum Product of Word Lengths

Given a string array words, find the maximum value of length(word[i]) * length(word[j]) where the two words do not share common letters. You may assume that each word will contain only lower case letters. If no such two words exist, return 0.

Example 1:

Given [“abcw”, “baz”, “foo”, “bar”, “xtfn”, “abcdef”]

Return 16

The two words can be “abcw”, “xtfn”.

Example 2:

Given [“a”, “ab”, “abc”, “d”, “cd”, “bcd”, “abcd”]

Return 4

The two words can be “ab”, “cd”.

Example 3:

Given [“a”, “aa”, “aaa”, “aaaa”]

Return 0

No such pair of words.
