each of the consonants in the word TIED is changed to the next letter ...
Problem: Meaningful English words with transformed letters
Explanation
In this problem, we are given a word "TIED". We have to transform its letters according to the given rules and make meaningful English words with the new set of letters, using each letter only once in each word.
Transformation Rules
Each consonant in the word "TIED" is changed to the next letter of the English alphabet, and each vowel is changed to the previous letter in the English alphabet.
Solution Approach
To solve this problem, we can follow the below approach:
- Transform the letters of the given word according to the rules.
- Find all the permutations of the transformed letters.
- Check if each permutation forms a meaningful English word or not.
- Count all the meaningful English words.
Transformed Letters
Using the given rules, we can transform the letters of the word "TIED" as follows:
So, the transformed word is "UHDE".
Permutations of Transformed Letters
Now, we can find all the permutations of the transformed letters "UHDE". There are 4 letters, so there are 4! = 24 permutations possible. They are:
- UHDE
- UHED
- UDHE
- UDEH
- UEHD
- UEDH
- HUDE
- HUED
- HDUE
- HDEU
- HEUD
- HEDU
- DUHE
- DUEH
- DHUE
- DHEU
- DEUH
- DEHU
- EUHD
- EUDH
- EHUD
- EHDU
- EDUH
- EDHU
Meaningful English Words
Out of the 24 permutations, we need to find the ones that form meaningful English words. We can use a dictionary to check if each permutation is a valid English word or not. After checking, we get the following list of 5 English words:
Result
Therefore, there are 5 meaningful English words that can be made with the new set of letters using each letter only once in each word.
