Number the letters A1 R1 C1 H1 R2 R3 C2 H2 C3 C4 C5 H3 H4 H5 H6 H7 Let's spell ARCH backward as HCRA. From each R there will be only 1 choice for A which is the only A, namely A1. So we only need to spell HCR. From H1 there are 2 choices for C, C1 and C2. and for each C there are 2 choices for R, R1 and R3. That's (2)(2)=4 ways. By symmetry there's also 4 ways for H4. That's 8 ways. From H2 there are 3 choices for C, C1, C2, C5. For 2 of those choices, C1 and C2, there are 2 choices for R, R1, R3. That's (2)(2)=4. For C5 there is only 1 choice for R, R3. That's 5. By symmetry there are also 5 ways for H5. That's 10 ways. From H3 there are 2 choices for C, C2 and C5. For 1 of those choices, C2, there are 2 choices for R, R1 and R3. For C5 there is only 1 choice for R, R3. That's 3. By symmetry there are also 3 ways for H6. That's 6 ways. From H7, there is only 1 way to spell HCR, H7-C5-R3 Answer: 8+10+6+1 = 25 Edwin
