The following Canadian letters have a distinct property in common. Can you tell what it is?

From the above set, a further breakdown into two groups is possible. The first group contains the letters a, c, and g, while the second group contains the rest. The separating factor is related to the common property that all the letters share. Can you get that too?

The letters in the first list are all letters that when pronounced are also words: eh, bee, sea (see), gee, eye, oh, pea (pee), queue, tee (tea), you, why.
The second breakdown contain the letters whose associated words do not contain the letter themsleves, i.e., there is no a in eh, no c in sea, and no i in eye.
And as per the postings, q and u should be added to the list, though I hadn't thought of these words (or more specificaly, spellings) when I created the problem. |
