• first suppose what will be the first word ADEKNR
  So the possible no. of words that will start with A----->5! =120 starting words will be first in dictionary
  but we need 25th words so after a smallest word is D now no of words starts with AD---- is 4!=24
  we need 25th word required word will not start with AD because AD will contain starting 24 numbers
  so what comes after D it's E
  So now 25 th word start with AR
  arrange the remaining in ascending order
  AEDKNE
