Emma’S Dilemma

EMMA’S DILEMMA

We are to find out a formula to predict the number of combinations in a word. This can be affected by the amount of words, the amount of different words and if the word is a palindrome (A word which can be read front-to-back and back-to-front, e.g. ANNA). I will first list the combinations of one name, EMMA and look at the amount of combinations and try to find a formula, which receives the same results.

  1. EMMA – The name Emma has four words so there can not be too many results. There are two letters the same, which should reduce the amount of combinations produced.

It has been difficult to produce a formula straight away because of the repeated letter ‘M’. I have decided to move on to a four-letter name in which all the letters differ, LUCY.
