@Vivek, when it is not mention about the way of taking the digits we have to ignore those ways where there is repetion of digits.

Even if the words are of 6 letters or 7 letters there can be cases where there can be letters between a and b. Hope my solution makes this clear to you.

See in my post my #9 where I have written this a and b can also be arranged among themselves in 2 ways, so

The 2 which I have written inside the bracket is for the arrangements of a and b, so there is no need to take them separately.

I too have taken that case.

Where is the repeatation being made?

Still I think that we don't have to form 4 letter or 5 letter or 6 letter word. Only a single 7 letter word in all possible ways! (I mean corresponding to given conditions).
I have seen such problems I think.

Say letter ABCDF are given and we are to form such that there is one space between A & C. I don't think you'll form a 3 letter word or such.
