There are four types of words that can be made from the letters of TOMORROW. Type 1: ABCD (4 distinguishable letters) each of which can be arranged in 4!= 24 ways; Type 2: AABB (2 pairs of indistinguishable letters) each of which can be arranged in 4!/(2!2!) = 6 ways; Type 3: AAAB (3 indistinguishable letters and 1 different letter, which can be arranged in 4!/3! = 4 ways. Type 4: AABC (2 indistinguishable letters and 2 other distinguishable letters, each of which can be arranged in 4!/2! = 12 ways Put these into cases: Case 1: The ABCD-type words. Choose 4 letters from {M,O,R,T,W} in 5C4 = 5 ways. From the above, each can be arranged in 24 ways. That's 5∙24=120 ways. Case 2: The AABB-type words. These are the arrangements of OORR From the above, there are 6 of these. That's 6 ways for case 2. Case 3. The AAAB-type words. The three indistinguishable letters can only be O's. The letter of which there is only 1 is chosen from {M,R,T,W}, 4 ways. There are 4 ways to choose the other letter. From the above, each can be arranged in 4 ways. That's 4∙4=16 ways Case 4. The AABC-type words. Choose the letter for the two indistinguishable letters 2 ways (O or R) Choose the two distinguishable letters from the other 4 letters in 4C2=6 ways From the above, each can be arranged in 12 ways That's 2∙6∙12 = 144 ways Answer: 120+6+16+144 = 286 four-letter words.
