720

you would be using permutation i believe

because carpet has 6 letters you have six placement options

_x_x_x_x_x_

if you can only use the letters once

you can put all letters in p1

so 6x_x_x_x_x_

but because of that you would only be able to put all but one in p2 and one less than p2 in p3 going all the way to 1 in the last

so 6x5x4x3x2x1

i might be wrong but this has worked for me
