Solution

n Starting with letter A, and arranging the other four letters, there are 4! = 24 words.

These are the first 24 words.

Then starting with G, and arranging A, A, I and N in different ways

There are `(4!)/(2!1!1!)` = 12 words.

Next the 37th word starts with I.

There are again 12 words starting with I.

This accounts up to the 48th word.

The 49th word is NAAGI.
