The NP-hard Minimum Common String Partition problem has as input two strings x and y and asks whether x and y can each be partitioned into at most k substrings, called blocks, such that both partitions use exactly the same blocks in a different order. In this work, we present the first fixed-parameter algorithm for Minimum Common String Partition using only parameter k.
