FLOR__ 2!=2 words
FLOWER is the next word in this alphabetical order..and it ranks 155 !!!
This is the solution....

Answer 20

I hope this helped you in learning permutations...

Answer 21

I think you failed to consider the arrangement of each rank per word in that alphabet.

Answer 22

rework it. you'll get 42.5 if you do it right.

42.5 then?

Watch the solution carefully. It is absolutely right. How did you get 42.5 if ther are 120 words starting with E itself?

You must simplify first otherwise you will more than likely get an incorrect result.
