Why is this (presumably more efficient) dynamic algorithm being outperformed by the naive recursive version?

I have the following problem as homework: Write a O(N^2) algorithm to determine whether the string can be broken into a list of words. You can start by writing an exponential algorithm and then using dynamic programming to improve the runtime complexity. The naive exponential algorithm which I started out with is this: I then adapted this into the following

A* search algorithm implementation in python

I am trying to build a very simple A* Search Algorithm in Python 3. Given the following distances for each node (considering S is the starting node and G the end one) I want to write a function that finds the best path based on total cost (i.e., f(n) for those familiar with the terminology) for the following search space:
