          For the first item in the resulting set we have $4$ choices.



          For the second item in the set we have $4-1 = 3$ choices as we cannot repeat the previous letter.



          Finally for the third item in the set we have $4-1= 3$ choices as again we cannot repeat the previous letter.



          Multiplying the number of choices (using the rule of product) we have $4*3*3 = 36$ solutions.
