Letter Patterns

Several words from this list contain either the -er or the -re letter pattern: 


	heredity		agriculture		experimental

	altered
Interestingly, the words "heredity" and "altered" contain both the -re and the -er letter patterns.

Most of the words in this list contain at least one r. The following words DO NOT contain the letter r: 


	thing			think			blink

	company			yield			genetic

	modify
That's seven without the letter r and so there are thirteen words from this list that do contain the letter r.
