codeforces 593A 2char

Andrew often reads articles in his favorite magazine 2Char. The main feature of these articles is that each of them uses at most two distinct letters. Andrew decided to send an article to the magazine, but as he hasn’t written any article, he just decided to take a random one from magazine 26Char. However, before sending it to the magazine 2Char, he needs to adapt the text to the format of the journal. To do so, he removes some words from the chosen article, in such a way that the remaining text can be written using no more than two distinct letters.

Since the payment depends from the number of non-space characters in the article, Andrew wants to keep the words with the maximum total length.

Input
The first line of the input contains number n (1 ≤ n ≤ 100) — the number of words in the article chosen by Andrew. Following are n lines, each of them contains one word. All the words consist only of small English letters and their total length doesn’t exceed 1000. The words are not guaranteed to be distinct, in this case you are allowed to use a word in the article as many times as it appears in the input.

Output
Print a single integer — the maximum possible total length of words in Andrew’s article.

Note
In the first sample the optimal way to choose words is {‘abb’, ‘aaa’, ‘bbb’}.

In the second sample the word ‘cdecdecdecdecdecde’ consists of three distinct letters, and thus cannot be used in the article. The optimal answer is {‘a’, ‘a’, ‘aaaa’}.

题目意思：只能用26个字母中的两个字母，在所给的n个串中找到能用两个字母组成的所有串最长总长度，所以若一个串含有三个以上字母，则抛弃掉；
