9675: ABC184 —— E - Third Avenue
[Creator : ]
Description
There is a town represented as a two-dimensional grid with $H$ horizontal rows and $W$ vertical columns.
A character $a_{i,j}$ describes the square at the $i$-th row from the top and $j$-th column from the left. Here, $a_{i,j}$ is one of the following: `S` , `G` , `.` , `#` , `a`, ..., and `z`.
`#` represents a square that cannot be entered, and `a`, ..., `z` represent squares with teleporters.
Takahashi is initially at the square represented as `S`. In each second, he will make one of the following moves:
- Go to a non-`#` square that is horizontally or vertically adjacent to his current position.
- Choose a square with the same character as that of his current position, and teleport to that square. He can only use this move when he is at a square represented as `a`, ..., or `z`.
Find the shortest time Takahashi needs to reach the square represented as `G` from the one represented as `S`.
If the destination is unreachable, report `-1` instead.

Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
```
$H$ $W$
$a_{1,1}\dots a_{1,W}$
$\vdots$
$a_{H,1}\dots a_{H,W}$
```
```
$H$ $W$
$a_{1,1}\dots a_{1,W}$
$\vdots$
$a_{H,1}\dots a_{H,W}$
```
Output
Print the shortest time Takahashi needs to reach the square represented as `G` from the one represented as `S`.
If the destination is unreachable from the initial position, print `-1` instead.
If the destination is unreachable from the initial position, print `-1` instead.
Constraints
- $1 \le H, W \le 2000$
- $a_{i,j}$ is `S`, `G`, `.`, `#`, or a lowercase English letter.
- There is exactly one square represented as `S` and one square represented as `G`.
- $a_{i,j}$ is `S`, `G`, `.`, `#`, or a lowercase English letter.
- There is exactly one square represented as `S` and one square represented as `G`.

Let (i,j) denote the square at the i-th row from the top and j-th column from the left.
Initially, Takahashi is at (1,1). One way to reach (2,5) in four seconds is:
- go from (1,1) to (2,1);
- teleport from (2,1) to (2,3), which is also an a square;
- go from (2,3) to (2,4);
- go from (2,4) to (2,5).
