* TODO 1408. String Matching in an Array :easy:
:PROPERTIES:
:NEETCODE: [[file:../../roadmap.org::*1408. String Matching in an Array][1408. String Matching in an Array]]
:END:

Given an array of string ~words~, return all strings in/ /~words~/ /that are a substring of another word. You can return the answer in *any order*.

*Example 1:*


#+begin_src
Input: words = ["mass","as","hero","superhero"]
Output: ["as","hero"]
Explanation: "as" is substring of "mass" and "hero" is substring of "superhero".
["hero","as"] is also a valid answer.
#+end_src


*Example 2:*


#+begin_src
Input: words = ["leetcode","et","code"]
Output: ["et","code"]
Explanation: "et", "code" are substring of "leetcode".
#+end_src


*Example 3:*


#+begin_src
Input: words = ["blue","green","bu"]
Output: []
Explanation: No string of words is substring of another string.
#+end_src


*Constraints:*

 - ~1 <= words.length <= 100~

 - ~1 <= words[i].length <= 30~

 - ~words[i]~ contains only lowercase English letters.

 - All the strings of ~words~ are *unique*.
