- Count the number of letters in each word. Steelers = 8 letters Now count the number of repeating letters: you have 3 E's. So 8!/3! = 8*7*6*5*4 = 6720 Phoenix = 7 letters No repeats So 7! = 5040 If it were something like Balloons, it would be 8!/2!2! because there are 2 L's and 2 O's. 8!/2!2! = 8*7*6*5*3*2 = 10080 Hope that helps!
