<span class="solution-visible-txt">All submissions for this problem are available.</span><h3> Read problems statements in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.codechef.com/download/translated/NOV14/mandarin/DISCHAR.pdf">Mandarin Chinese </a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.codechef.com/download/translated/NOV14/russian/DISCHAR.pdf">Russian</a>.</h3>


<p>You have initially a string of <b>N</b> characters, denoted by <b>A<sub>1</sub>,A<sub>2</sub>...A<sub>N</sub></b>. You have to print the size of the largest subsequence of string <b>A</b> such that all the characters in that subsequence are distinct ie. no two characters in that subsequence should be same.<br/>
A subsequence of string <b>A</b> is a sequence that can be derived from <b>A</b> by deleting some elements  and without changing the order of the remaining elements.
</p>

<h3>Input</h3>
<p>First line contains <b>T</b>, number of testcases. Each testcase consists of a single string in one line. Each character of the string will be a small alphabet(ie. 'a' to 'z').</p>

<h3>Output</h3>
<p>For each testcase, print the required answer in one line.</p>

<h3>Constraints</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>1</b> ≤ <b>T</b> ≤ <b>10</b></li>
<li>Subtask 1 (20 points):<b>1</b> ≤ <b>N</b> ≤ <b>10</b></li>
<li>Subtask 2 (80 points):<b>1</b> ≤ <b>N</b> ≤ <b>10<sup>5</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<h3>Example</h3>
<pre><b>Input:</b>
2
abc
aba

<b>Output:</b>
3
2

</pre>
<h3>Explanation</h3>
<p>For first testcase, the whole string is a subsequence which has all distinct characters.<br/>
In second testcase, the we can delete last or first 'a' to get the required subsequence.
