Answer:

Depends on how many letters make one Word!

1 ) If 3 letters are minimum required to make one word from a word having 8 total letters, then the answer is 46230.

2 ) If it's 4, then 46224.

3 ) If it's 5, then 46200.

4 ) If you require a total number of words possible from the 8 words of the aforementioned word using all the 8 words, then that would be equal to 40320.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a simple procedure.

To find all the Possible Combinations of words that can be formed by the letters of the word SWIMMING!

Multiply the number of Outcomes of the number of letters of the word.

If the word has 8 letters, then you can use a formula or you can say, a function known as Factorial.

Example, a factorial of a number 6, will be = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720

Exactly alike, factorial of a 3 will be equal to = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6

Now looking above, we know that we can make a word out of at-least 3 words!

So we can add the Factorial of 8 letters, 7, 6, and so on to 3.

Symbol of Factorial is (!) so Here is the calculation:

8! + 7! + 6! + 5! + 4! + 3! = 46230

If you're looking for the total amount of Possible words that can be made from an 8 letter word, all having 8 words only, then you can get the answer by typing 8! and your answer would be 40320.

You can put the factorial symbol in a Scientific Calculator, by pressing Shift and x^{-1} button on the right upper side, to get the symbol in front of your number!

I hope this was helpful. This was a fun question.
