Since all letters are unique, we want to choose 4 letters from a list, and that order matters (ARDE is different from EARD), use permutations.
By permutations, there are P(6, 4) = 6!/2! = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 = 360 possible four-letter arrangements.
I hope this helps!

you have 6 choices for the first letter
5 for the 2nd
4 for the 3rd
3 for the 4th
6*5*4*3=360
