Letter Patterns

Consonants followed by r occur in many words on this list: 


	dress		freshness		crust

	hungry		springs
Two other words also contain an r. In fearless, the r follows a vowel. In recycle, the r is the first letter of the word.

The -ss letter pattern is part of two different suffixes in words on this list. 


  fresh + ness  -> the state of being fresh

  fit + ness    -> the state of being fit

  fear + less   -> without fear
