Scala: for comprehension on each list of a nested list-CodePudding

Here is a simple for comprehension to get all combinations of letters between two Lists

val two = List('a', 'b', 'c')
val three = List('d', 'e', 'f')
val res = for {
  i <- two
  j <- three
} yield s"$i$j"
println(res.mkString("[", ",", "]"))

// [ad, ae, af, bd, be, bf, cd, ce, cf]

Now, lets say we have a list of such lists

val list = List(two, three)

How do I write for comprehensions to get same result as first case? This list could be larger list like List(two, three, seven, nine) etc?

As @MateuszKubuszok suggested.

object LetterCombinationsScala extends App {

  def combinations(digits: String): List[String] = {
    val map = Map(2 -> "abc", 3 -> "def", 4 -> "ghi", 5-> "jkl",6 -> "mno", 7 -> "pqrs", 8 -> "tuv", 9 -> "wxyz")
    digits
      .toCharArray
      .map(_.toInt - '0'.toInt)
      .map(map)
      .map(_.toCharArray)
      .foldLeft(List(""))((is, js) => {
        for {
          i <- is
          j <- js
        } yield s"$i$j"
    })
  }

    val res = combinations("293")
    println(res.mkString("[", ",", "]"))
}
