We will say that a rearrangement of the letters of a word has no fixed letters if, when the rearrangement is placed directly below the word, no column has the same letter repeated. For instance,

HBRATA

is a rearrangement with no fixed letters of

BHARAT

. How many distinguishable rearrangements with no fixed letters does

BHARAT

have? (The two

A's

are considered identical)
