I'm not very mathematical.

I just wrote it down. So.. if it had to start with F, I wrote all of the possibilities to come after that, starting with the letter A:

If N was the next letter after A, for example, there are only 2 letters that could follow that, and therefore, only two words that could start F-A-N (hopefully that makes sense!). So...

FANZR
FANRZ

Same with FAZ:

FAZNR
FAZRN

And so on. So there would be 6 possibilities starting with FA

FANZR
FANRZ
FAZNR
FAZRN
FARZN
FARNZ

Since there are 6 possibilites with each of the 4 different letters to immediately follow F...

6 x 4 = 24. I guess.
