<p>Given an array of strings <code>words</code>, return <em>the smallest string that contains each string in</em> <code>words</code> <em>as a substring</em>. If there are multiple valid strings of the smallest length, return <strong>any of them</strong>.</p>

<p>You may assume that no string in <code>words</code> is a substring of another string in <code>words</code>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> words = [&quot;alex&quot;,&quot;loves&quot;,&quot;leetcode&quot;]

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

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= words.length &lt;= 12</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= words[i].length &lt;= 20</code></li>
	<li><code>words[i]</code> consists of lowercase English letters.</li>
	<li>All the strings of <code>words</code> are <strong>unique</strong>.</li>
