49. Group Anagrams
Group strings that are anagrams of each other. Akamai uses this to probe hash key design — choosing the right canonical form (sorted string vs. character frequency vector) is the same trade-off engineers face when designing cache keys for edge routing rules.

139. Word Break
Determine if a string can be segmented into words from a dictionary. Akamai frames this as rule-matching in edge logic — determining whether a URL path can be decomposed into a sequence of known routing tokens is the same dynamic programming problem applied to real-time request handling.
