Let W denote the set of English words. For u, v ∈ W, declare u ∼ v provided that u, v have the same length and u, v have the same first letter and u, v have the same last letter.

a) Prove that ∼ is an equivalence relation.

b) List all elements of the equivalence class [a]

c) List all elements of [ox]

d) List all elements of [are]

e) List all elements of [five]. Can you find more than 15?

f) Bonus. Find all three letter words x such that [x] has 5 elements.
