Briefly explain how your solution works and how to run it

My solution uses a backtracking solution, which is pretty much brute force which goes through every cell to find a letter that matches the word. The answer starts with the word's first letter (if found) on the grid and then scopes the letter's neighbours for a match without using the same letter cell.

To run it: make sure Python is installed and extensions are installed in Visual Studio Code. Click on the triangle in the upper right-hand corner of Visual Studio Code and click on "Run Python File".

You can also type "py solution.py" in the terminal to run it.
