    The letters of word WOMAN can be arranged in
    5! = 5 *4*3*2*1 = 120 ways.
    119th word would be WOMAN. As
    WOMNA would be 120th, and WOMAN would be 119th.
    Is it correct?

    According to dictionary means alphabetically.
    With A in begging we gt 4! words.
    Similarly with M, N and O,so we gt 4!*4 =96 words.
    Now with W at front, with A in 2nd position, We have 3! words,with M and N we get 3! words,
    so total 18 words.
    With O in 2nd,we get WOAMN,WOANM,and WOMAN.
    Thus, 96+18+3 = 117th word.
    What is the correct answer?

    117
    starting with a = 4!
    with m = 4!
    with n = 4!
    with o = 4!
    with wa = 3!
    with wm = 3!
    with wn = 3!
    with woa = 2!
    now next is woman.
