Given : the word is ‘MONDAY.’ 

Total number of letters in the word = 6 

To find : possible number of four-letter words can be made using the letters of the word ‘MONDAY.’ 

Formula used : 

Number of arrangements of n things taken r at a time = P(n, r)

P(n, r) = \(\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\)

∴ Total number of arrangements 

= the number of arrangements of 6 things taken 4 at a time 

= P(6, 4)

= 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 

= 360 

Hence,

The total number of four-letter words can be made by letters of the word ‘MONDAY’ 

= 360
