+1. start with a cell
+2. look at all the neighbors of the cell for the next letter.
+  if we don't find it, move back up to try a different path (if there were other matches a cell up)
+  if we do find it
+    if we're at the end of the string, stop, and return true
+    if we aren't at the end of the string, goto 2 for the cell we found
+
+along the way, build a stack of the path. So for the following grid:
+  A B C
+  D E F
+  G H I
+a final stack for "BEAD" should be: [0,1], [1,1], [0,0], [1,0]
