      Patricia often misspells the word MISSPELL. How many ways are there to misspell the word MISSPELL if all of the correct letters are used but are placed in the wrong order?

        Hello, you are now looking at a book worm who likes animations about stickman, and is very nearly bad at math.
        If you wanna see my animations, search "AshFang1130" on BilliBilli(哔哩哔哩)
        P.S. I LOVE WARRIOR CATS!!!!!!!!
        P.P.S I also play GachaClub

          MISSPELL has 8 letters with 2 S’s and two L’s. 8!/(4!2!) = 10,080 arrangements, but one of these is the correct spelling, so there are 10,079 misspellings in total.
