What four-letter sets are possible using the letters A, B, C, and D?
*With* repetitions allowed, that is. I can't think of all of them. I'm a math putz, I know. Help, please?
Thank you!!

There are 256. I'm not listing them.
If you are desperate, Write
A
B
C
D
A
B
C
D (etc) in the first column (64 cycles of ABCD)
THEN in the second column, write
A
A
A
A
B
B
B
B
C
C
C
C
D
D
D
D
sixteen times of Ax4, Bx4 etc.
THEN
each letter 16 times (four times)
Then each letter 64 times, once each.
That will list them all.
