Distinguishable Ways to Arrange the Word WRITE
The below step by step work generated by the word permutations calculator shows how to find how many different ways can the letters of the word WRITE be arranged.

Objective:
Find how many distinguishable ways are there to order the letters in the word WRITE.

Step by step workout:
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters and values to find how many ways are there to order the letters WRITE.
Formula:
nPr =n!/(n1! n2! . . . nr!)

Input parameters and values:
Total number of letters in WRITE:
n = 5

Distinct subsets:
Subsets : W = 1; R = 1; I = 1; T = 1; E = 1;
Subsets' count:
n1(W) = 1, n2(R) = 1, n3(I) = 1, n4(T) = 1, n5(E) = 1

step 2 Apply the values extracted from the word WRITE in the (nPr) permutations equation
nPr = 5!/(1! 1! 1! 1! 1! )

= 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5/{(1) (1) (1) (1) (1)}

= 120/1

= 120
nPr of word WRITE = 120

Hence,
The letters of the word WRITE can be arranged in 120 distinct ways.

Apart from the word WRITE, you may try different words with various lengths with or without repetition of letters to observe how it affects the nPr word permutation calculation to find how many ways the letters in the given word can be arranged.
