Bruteforce - quite easy, but we need something better than O(n*m)
Optimized - might be a bit hard

Today's morning does not start with leetcode.

I have heard a lot of suggestions and questions about why I don't start/run startup, why keep working on corpo shit, being employee, have manager who tells you what to do, etc.

Here is why:

This problem I actually liked, first of all it at least a bit smells like real world problem. Second, not very hard, exactly for 30-40 mins

rephrasing question:
given list of words, and list of queries, return word per query using the following rules:

- if word is EXACTLY matched - return it
- if word is matched EXACTLY but case insensitive (w1.lower() == w2.lower()) -> return the first occurence from the word list. e.g. I have KiTy as query, and list [kITY, KiTY] - I should return kITY as it is the first.
- if word is matched both lowercase, but on the places of vowels there might be any other vowel (also return the first)
