Pattern Matching Problem Statement

Given a pattern as a string and a set of words, determine if the pattern and the words list align in the same sequence.

Input:
T (number of test cases)
For each test case:
pattern (a string), N (number of words)
words (N words separated by spaces)
Output:
Return 'True' for each test case in a new line if the sequence of words matches the order of characters in the pattern. Otherwise, return 'False'.
Example:
Input:
T = 1
pattern = 'abba', words = 'dog cat cat dog'

Output:
True
Constraints:
  • 1 <= T <= 100
  • 1 <= |pattern| <= 5000
  • 1 <= N <= 5000
  • 1 <= Length of each word <= 6
Note:

Ensure that your function handles the input correctly as the output will be auto collected.
