Is there a formula or method to find the number of 6-letter words from the English alphabet if repetition is allowed, but they must appear in alphabetical order?
Type what you know about how many words there'd be if they didn't also need to be in alphabetical order...
Limitless repetition however ordering wasn't specified. I'm so confused as to how to combine the formula for repetition and ordering.
I know the number six letter words that do not have to appear in alphabetical order would be $26^6$. But when I try to count only those words that are alphabetically ordered, I get stuck.
I am not sure if words like "aaaaaa", "iaiwiz" will be counted as one word, but if so, then
Assume the 6 letter word is composed by randomly chosen English alphabet, then combination of each letter is 26. So with ordering and repetition, the number of way of forming the 6 letter word$=26*26*26*26*26$
