In the array below, in how many different ways can we start with the letter A and move from letter to letter (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), to spell the word "ARCH"?

Answer 1

To start with the letter A and move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to spell the word "ARCH" in the given array, we can consider the following paths:

Path 1: A -> B -> H -> C
Path 2: A -> B -> C -> H
Path 3: A -> G -> F -> C -> H
Path 4: A -> H -> C -> G
Path 5: A -> H -> G -> F -> C

Therefore, there are 5 different ways we can start with the letter A and move to spell the word "ARCH".
