All possible combos? (+rep)

[Dark_Phoenix]

I'm trying to find all possible combos for a group of four letters (F, W, E, and A) into a group of three for my game. Mathematically, it should be 24, I think, but I only got 20. The order does not matter and the letters can be reused...

Here's the list of letter combos I have:

FFF
FFW
FFE
FFA
FWW
FWE
FWA
FEE
FEA
FAA
WWW
WWE
WWA
WEE
WEA
WAA
EEE
EEA
EAA
AAA

There is more then 24.......

That is all I can say...

I don't want to count lol.....

 

[Romek]

A logical way to list them would be:

FFF
FFW
FFE
FFA

FWF
FWW
FWE
FWA

FAF
FAW
FAE
FAA

Etc.
Hopefully you get the idea. You seem to be missing a few from there. (FWF for example)

F W A E:

FFW

WWF

WWA

AAF
AAW
AAA
AAE

FWA
WAE
AEF

Hmm i think your formula is wrong... As long as order is random i guess there isn't more then 20 possible combinations

i think you missed what he ment.

FWF and WFF is the same to him (i think)

if you look at his combinations he dosen't do something like that a single time
