you need to use something called factorial. this is represent by an exclamation point and means that you multiply its successive numbers.

lets say you have 4! this means 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24

lets say you have 11! this means 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 =39,916,800

so now lets take your word "constitution" and how many letters do you have. you have 12 letters. so to figure out how much arrangements you can do you need to do 12! this number is 479,001,600.

this is combinatorics. it is used in making combinations and figuring them out. also it can be used in probability and password hacking and protection.
