Please rephrase verbosely and in great detail the conditions; and: what do you mean by "filter"? Eliminate? Print and eliminate others?
For me, the example in post#7 should NOT print, as more than one single letter groups exist. And, why group "e" and not "c"?

yeah, sorry. done!
'e' is a single letter group. 'c' is not a single letter group. because there is a group that shares c in it, 'cd'.
