The letters in "TOMORROW" are "T,O,M,R,W"

5 letters CHOOSE 4 = 5C4 = 5

Those 5 ways are

1.    T,O,M,R
2.    T,O,M,W
3.    T,O,R,W
4.    T,M,R,W
5.    O,M,R,W

.

Edwin thinks that the word "TOMORROW" has 5 letters.

Another person (me, for example) may think that it has 8 letters.

If the problem admits different interpretations, it means that something is WRONG with its formulation.
