Letters of the word ENDEANOEL are
3 E \text { 's, } 2 N \text { 's, } 1 D, 1 O, 1 L, 1 A

Letters D, L, Ncan be permuted at first 4 places in \frac{4 !}{2 !} ways and the remaining letters can be permuted \frac{5 !}{3 !} ways.

\therefore \quad  required number of ways  \frac{4 !}{2 !} \times \frac{5 !}{3 !}=2(5 !)
