GOD=
Can you help me with this? thank you so much

Answer by Theo(13342) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the letters GOD can form 3! possible words.
3! = 3*2*1 = 6
the possible words would be:
GOD
GDO
OGD
ODG
DOG
DGO

you will probably find two of these words in the dictionary (GOD, DOG)

i'm not sure about the other ones being in the dictionary.
they do form 3 letter words, but do the words mean anything?
you would have to look in the dictionary to see if they exist there.

your answer should be 6, not taking into account whether the words mean anything.

that's what i think.
