Problem C: Edit Step Ladders

An edit step is a transformation from one word x to another word y such that x and y are words in the dictionary, and x can be transformed to y by adding, deleting, or changing one letter. So the transformation from dig to dog or from dog to do are both edit steps. An edit step ladder is a lexicographically ordered sequence of words w₁, w₂, ... w_n such that the transformation from w_i to w_i+1 is an edit step for all i from 1 to n-1.

For a given dictionary, you are to compute the length of the longest edit step ladder.

Input

The input to your program consists of the dictionary - a set of lower case words in lexicographic order - one per line. No word exceeds 16 letters and there are no more than 25000 words in the dictionary.

Output

The output consists of a single integer, the number of words in the longest edit step ladder.

Sample Input

cat
dig
dog
fig
fin
fine
fog
log
wine

Sample Output
