There are two vowels in the first 8 letters of the alphabet (a and e). Since
these two letters must be included in every word, we must select 3 additional
letters from the remaining 6 consonants to get a group of 5 letters.
There are ways to do this, so there are
20 different five letter groups.
For each group, the five letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The total number of "words" is then:
(120 words per group)(20 groups) = 2400 words
