Possible combinations

**Roderic_deriere** · 02-12-2022, 12:37 AM

Hi All,

I need to make a spreadsheet that will calculate and output combinations of letters.
So I have the word "words" and by swapping only 2 letters at a time with each other I want to change it from "words" into Sword", that part is easy. also I only have 4 moves to do it in for example one way would be as follows:
words
worsd
wosrd
wsord
sword
there are many more ways to do this so I want a spreadsheet that can calculate and show all the possible combinations from words to sword in 4 moves.

Cheers,
