Have you learnt combinations and permutations yet? For any word consists of n unrepeat letter, the permutation is nPn = n!. For an example of n=4, the first place has 4 choices which are able to select, afterwards, the second place has 3, as a result, the permutation becomes 4*3*2*1=4!. If there are repeated letter, you can think of they can self rotate, permutation becomes n!/product(r!) of all pairs of repeated letters.

Yes, if there are repeat, self cancellation occur, it's combinations are also rep!, and becomes the divisor.

abpatrick catkilltsoi Actually factorial of length is valid only for words having non repeated letters
