How many ways can you arrange the letters in the word Wednesday?

Answer 1

The word "Wednesday" consists of 9 letters, with the letter 'd' appearing twice. To find the number of distinct arrangements, you can use the formula for permutations of multiset: ( \frac{n!}{n_1! \cdot n_2!} ), where ( n ) is the total number of letters and ( n_1, n_2, \ldots ) are the frequencies of the repeated letters. In this case, it is ( \frac{9!}{2!} = \frac{362880}{2} = 181440 ). Thus, there are 181,440 distinct arrangements of the letters in "Wednesday."
