Greedy search vs BFS comes down to: do you *need* the best answer, or just *an* answer?
BFS is your go-to for puzzles, mazes, etc. Greedy’s better for stuff like recommendation systems where speed > perfection.
If you’re testing, use PyGame to visualize both—it’s eye-opening how differently they behave.

Wow, didn’t expect so many great takes! The A* suggestion keeps coming up—guess I’ll dive into that next.
Also, VisuAlgo is *exactly* what I needed to see the diff. Thanks y’all!
One last Q: anyone got examples where greedy search *spectacularly* failed? Like, hilariously bad? Just curious.
