There are four cases. 1. Like EJXA. The 2 vowels distinguishable and the 2 consonants distinguishable. Choose the beginning vowel letter 5 ways, the last vowel 4 ways, the first consonant 21 ways and the other consonant 20 ways. That's 5×4×21×20 = 8400 2. Like UZPU. The 2 vowels indistinguishable and the 2 consonants distinguishable. Choose the same vowel for the first and last letter 5 ways. Choose the first consonant 21 ways and the other consonant 20 ways. That's 5×21×20 = 2100 3. Like IKKO. The 2 vowels distinguishable and the 2 consonants indistinguishable. Choose the beginning vowel letter 5 ways, the last vowel 4 ways. Choose the same consonant for the middle letters 21 ways. That's 5×4×21 = 420 4. Like ARRA. The 2 vowels indistinguishable and the 2 consonants indistinguishable. Choose the same vowel for the first and last letter 5 ways. Choose the same consonant for the middle letters 21 ways. That's 5×21 = 105 Total = 8400+2100+420+105 = 11025. Edwin
