The answer to this question would be:90 different words/strings.

This is a question about probability. In this question, there are 3 different kinds of the letter that consist of 2 letter each. The same letter will be considered same, so the probability will lessen if there are more same letter. The calculation would look like this : 6!/(2! 2! 2!)= 90 different words/strings.
