Count of Letters: There are 4 letters in the word IRON, so the first position can be filled by any of the 4 letters.
Choosing First Letter: After choosing the first letter, there are 3 letters left for the second position.
Choosing Second Letter: Then, there are 2 letters left for the third position.
Choosing Third Letter: Finally, there's only 1 letter left for the last position.
