Letter Patterns

Only three words from this list do not contain an e: 


	plural		north		south
The st letter pattern shows up in this list several times: 

	steam		stream		east

	west

There are a couple of slightly unusual letter patterns in a couple of the words in this list. 


	evaporate
Evaporate is slightly unusual since it has an alternating vowel-consonant pattern. In fact, it's overall pattern is v-c-v-c-v-c-v-c-v (where v stands for vowel and c stands for consonant). 

	freeze

The word freeze has more e's than any other word on the list and it is also the only word on the list which contains a z.
