Answer:

26^7=8 031 810 176

Explanation:

The word has 7 letters. So the word have 7 places where any of 26 letters can be placed.

Any of 26 letters can stay at 1st place

Any of 26 letters can stay at 2-nd place (because letters can be repeated)

Any of 26 letters can stay at 3rd place

Any of 26 letters can stay at 4th place

Any of 26 letters can stay at 5th place

Any of 26 letters can stay at 6th place

Any of 26 letters can stay at 7th place

So N= 26*26*26*26*26*26*26=26^7=8 031 810 176
