Question

How many 5 letter “words” can you create using letters from the word SURVEY if no letter can be used more than once? (Note: the “words” can be any arrangement of letters)

Answer 1

720 words

Explanation:

There are 6 letters in the word SURVEY and no repeat letters. There are 6 choices for the first letter, 5 for the second and so on until we have 2 choices for the last letter so the answer is 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 720.
