Question 1118120
Ans:  {{{ highlight(48) }}}
———————

There are only two vowels, e and i.   So for words ending in 'i' you have 4!= 24 permutations of the remaining 4 letters, and similarly 4!=24 for words ending in 'e'.   Adding these gives 48. <br>

  ( Since this is a MATH forum it is understood that a 'word' is a unique sequence of letters, and not necessarily a word from, say, a dictionary.  )
