In [this][1] problem what does prefix mean ? Is it a string of continuous characters from the start of word to anywhere in between the word ?
I am not able to understand wording of this problem correctly

Yes what you are thinking is correct.
For example consider string “google”.
Then prefixes are
g
go
goo
goog
googl

Is google also a prefix?
Thanks, can you also clarify this statement : " there should be a filter that contains the name of blocked site(filter is a prefix of blocked site)." How can a filter contain name of blocked site ? for example in google the name is google
I think that was a typo.Read first 3 lines of the 3rd paragraph carefully.
