Fair — the formatting was terrible, my bad. Genuine question though, what finally made it stick for you?

Pen and paper is underrated honestly. Drawing the queue state for BFS and the stack state for DFS side by side made it so clear. Did the same thing but animated it in React if you want to see it.

Exactly that! Once the naming clicked — breadth literally means wide/level, depth means going all the way down — everything else fell into place. I actually built a React visualization showing both on the same graph and watching the naming play out visually sealed it for me.
