A word is given. It is followed by four other words. One out of the four words cannot be formed by using the letters of given word. Find that word. AUTOGRAPHS
GREAT
This problem challenges us to identify which of the provided words cannot be created using only the letters found in the main word AUTOGRAPHS. We need to check each option against the available letters.
AUTOGRAPHS: Letter Breakdown
Let's first list all the letters in the word AUTOGRAPHS and count their occurrences. This will give us a clear set of letters to work with.
| Letter | Count in AUTOGRAPHS |
|---|---|
| A | 2 |
| U | 1 |
| T | 1 |
| O | 1 |
| G | 1 |
| R | 1 |
| P | 1 |
| H | 1 |
| S | 1 |
The distinct letters available from AUTOGRAPHS are A, U, T, O, G, R, P, H, and S.
Checking Word Formation for Each Option
Now, we will examine each option to determine if all its required letters are present in AUTOGRAPHS with sufficient counts:
- ROUGH: The letters needed for ROUGH are R, O, U, G, H. All these letters are present in AUTOGRAPHS. Therefore, ROUGH can be formed.
- GRAPH: The letters needed for GRAPH are G, R, A, P, H. All these letters are present in AUTOGRAPHS. Therefore, GRAPH can be formed.
- PATHOS: The letters needed for PATHOS are P, A, T, H, O, S. All these letters are present in AUTOGRAPHS. Therefore, PATHOS can be formed.
- GREAT: The letters needed for GREAT are G, R, E, A, T. When we compare these to the letters available in AUTOGRAPHS (A, U, T, O, G, R, P, H, S), we notice that the letter 'E' is not present in AUTOGRAPHS. Because of this missing letter, the word GREAT cannot be formed using the letters from AUTOGRAPHS.
Conclusion: The Unformable Word
Based on our analysis, the word GREAT contains a letter ('E') that is not found in the original word AUTOGRAPHS. All other words listed as options can be formed using the letters from AUTOGRAPHS.
