The word MIRACLE has 7 different letters.

The words by using all the letters can be formed from the letters of the word MIRACLE, without the repetition of the letters, is the permutation of 7 different objects taken at a time is,

 ^7P_7 

Thus, the required number of ways to form a word by using all the letters is,

 ^7P_7=\frac{7!}{\left ( 7-7 \right )!} 

^6P_3=\frac{6!}{3!} 

^7P_7=7\times 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times1 

^7P_7=5040  

Therefore, the number of ways to form a word is 5040 ways.
