<p>Given an <code>m x n</code> grid of characters <code>board</code> and a string <code>word</code>, return <code>true</code> <em>if</em> <code>word</code> <em>exists in the grid</em>.</p>

<p>The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cells, where adjacent cells are horizontally or vertically neighboring. The same letter cell may not be used more than once.</p>

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>m == board.length</code></li>
	<li><code>n = board[i].length</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= m, n &lt;= 6</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= word.length &lt;= 15</code></li>
	<li><code>board</code> and <code>word</code> consists of only lowercase and uppercase English letters.</li>
