Actually delete_at will remove the element at index_1 by shifting all the subsequent elements left by one index. So it's an O(n) method. Since you have it nested in a loop running n times. This is actually an O(n2) method.

else
index_1 +=1
end
end

This is actually O(mn) where m is the length of the strings and n is the number of strings.

# raise NotImplementedError, "Not implemented yet"
return "" unless (strings.length > 0)
output = ""
first_w = strings[0]
i = 0
first_w.each_char do |letter|
if strings.all?{|string| string[i] == letter }

output += letter
i += 1
end
end
return output
