+/**
+ * --- Day 4: Ceres Search ---
+ *
+ * "Looks like the Chief's not here. Next!" One of The Historians pulls out a device and pushes the only button on it.
+ * After a brief flash, you recognize the interior of the Ceres monitoring station!
+ *
+ * As the search for the Chief continues, a small Elf who lives on the station tugs on your shirt; she'd like to know
+ * if you could help her with her word search (your puzzle input). She only has to find one word: XMAS.
+ *
+ * This word search allows words to be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, written backwards, or even overlapping
+ * other words. It's a little unusual, though, as you don't merely need to find one instance of XMAS - you need to
+ * find all of them. Here are a few ways XMAS might appear, where irrelevant characters have been replaced with .:
+ *
+ * ..X...
+ * .SAMX.
+ * .A..A.
+ * XMAS.S
+ * .X....
+ *
+ * The actual word search will be full of letters instead. For example:
+ *
+ * MMMSXXMASM
+ * MSAMXMSMSA
+ * AMXSXMAAMM
+ * MSAMASMSMX
+ * XMASAMXAMM
+ * XXAMMXXAMA
+ * SMSMSASXSS
+ * SAXAMASAAA
+ * MAMMMXMMMM
+ * MXMXAXMASX
+ *
+ * In this word search, XMAS occurs a total of 18 times; here's the same word search again, but where letters
+ * not involved in any XMAS have been replaced with .:
+ *
+ * ....XXMAS.
+ * .SAMXMS...
+ * ...S..A...
+ * ..A.A.MS.X
+ * XMASAMX.MM
+ * X.....XA.A
+ * S.S.S.S.SS
+ * .A.A.A.A.A
+ * ..M.M.M.MM
+ * .X.X.XMASX
+ *
+ * Take a look at the little Elf's word search. How many times does XMAS appear?
