A. 3 ways to choose the first letter, then 25 ways to choose the second letter, then 24 ways to choose the third letter, and so on. So:
Of course, you have to use the mathematician's definition of a seven-letter word which is just a group of seven letters that do not necessarily have meaning as a word in any particular language. You must also assume though the problem did not specify, that the available letters come from the standard 26 character English alphabet.
