Type 1:  Number of words starting with D:  =((7!)/(2!))=2520    Type 2:  Number of words ending with R:  =((2!7!)/(2!))=5040  but in this number some words start  with D which are already counted in  type 1.    Type 3:  Number of words ending with R but  starting with D:  =((2!6!)/(2!))=720    ⇒result is 2520+5040−720=6840

$${Type}\:\mathrm{1}: \\ $$$${Number}\:{of}\:{words}\:{starting}\:{with}\:{D}: \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{7}!}{\mathrm{2}!}=\mathrm{2520} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${Type}\:\mathrm{2}: \\ $$$${Number}\:{of}\:{words}\:{ending}\:{with}\:{R}: \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{2}!\mathrm{7}!}{\mathrm{2}!}=\mathrm{5040} \\ $$$${but}\:{in}\:{this}\:{number}\:{some}\:{words}\:{start} \\ $$$${with}\:{D}\:{which}\:{are}\:{already}\:{counted}\:{in} \\ $$$${type}\:\mathrm{1}. \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${Type}\:\mathrm{3}: \\ $$$${Number}\:{of}\:{words}\:{ending}\:{with}\:{R}\:{but} \\ $$$${starting}\:{with}\:{D}: \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{2}!\mathrm{6}!}{\mathrm{2}!}=\mathrm{720} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{result}\:{is}\:\mathrm{2520}+\mathrm{5040}−\mathrm{720}=\mathrm{6840} \\ $$
