I would have to say that the answer DOES have something to do with the number leters, constanants and vowels, according to the correct answer there are a certain number of consecutive constanants and vowels in alphabetical order.... the hint threw me off into thinking that the only thing they had in common is that they are all embolden capitalised words :P
No, it doesn't have anything to do with the number of letters, number of consonants, or number of vowels. The ONLY thing that matters, the the aplhabetization of the words.
