Shashank and the Palindromic Strings


Problem Statement :


Shashank loves strings, but he loves palindromic strings the most. He has a list of n strings, A = [a0,a1,...,an-1] , where each string, ai, consists of lowercase English alphabetic letters. Shashank wants to count the number of ways of choosing non-empty subsequences s0,s1,s2,...,sn-1 such that the following conditions are satisfied:

1.s0 is a subsequence of string a0, s1 is a subsequence of string a1, s2 is a subsequence of string a2, ..., and sn-1 is a subsequence of string .
2. s-+s1+s2+ ...+ sn-1 is a palindromic string, where + denotes the string concatenation operator.
You are given q queries where each query consists of some list, A. For each query, find and print the number of ways Shashank can choose n non-empty subsequences satisfying the criteria above, modulo 10^9 + 7, on a new line.

Note: Two subsequences consisting of the same characters are considered to be different if their characters came from different indices in the original string.

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer, q, denoting the number of queries. The subsequent lines describe each query in the following format:

The first line contains an integer, n, denoting the size of the list.
Each line i of the n subsequent lines contains a non-empty string describing ai.
Constraints
1 <= q <= 50
1 <= n <= 50
Σ |ai| <= 1000 over a test case.
For 40% of the maximum score:
1 <= n <= 5
Σ |ai| <= 250 over a test case.
Output Format

For each query, print the number of ways of choosing non-empty subsequences, modulo 10^9 + 7, on a new line.
