Unique Word Abbreviation
An abbreviation of a word follows the form <first letter><number><last letter>. Below are some examples of word abbreviations:
a) it --> it (no abbreviation)
1
b) d|o|g --> d1g
1 1 1
1---5----0----5--8
c) i|nternationalizatio|n --> i18n
1
1---5----0
d) l|ocalizatio|n --> l10n
Assume you have a dictionary and given a word, find whether its abbreviation is unique in the dictionary. A word's abbreviation is unique if no other word from the dictionary has the same abbreviation.
Example:
Given dictionary = [ "deer", "door", "cake", "card" ]
isUnique("dear") -> false
isUnique("cart") -> true
isUnique("cane") -> false
isUnique("make") -> true

for word in dictionary:
if len(word)>2:
temp = word[0] + str(len(word) - 2 ) + word[-1]

temp = word
if word not in self.dict[temp]:
self.dict[temp].append(word)
