There are a total of 15 letters in "Greater Antilles." To calculate the number of words that can be formed, we must consider the frequency of each letter. Since there are repeated letters (e.g., 'e' appears three times), we need to account for this in our calculations. Using combinatorial mathematics, we can determine the total number of unique permutations of the letters in "Greater Antilles" to find the number of possible words that can be formed.
West Indies are the islands in the Caribbean.
Traditionally, there have been three groupings in the West Indies: The Greater Antilles, the Windward Islands, and the Leeward Islands. The Greater Antilles are the four largest islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Hispaniola is divided between the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The much smaller Windward and Leeward islands all lie south and east of the Greater Antilles, an archipelago extending like links in a chain from the several Virgin Islands in the north down to Grenada. Various islands in this group have been sometimes been called Windward Islands, and other times defined as Leeward Islands, so the distinction is not always significant. Some of the islands in this archipelago include Barbados, Martinique, Antigua, St. Kitts-Nevis, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Dominica, and St Vincent, among others. The Dutch islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, along with the nation of Trinidad and Tobago, are all very close to the coast of South America, and frequently regarded more as parts of that continent than as parts of the West Indies. Many of these classifications are imprecise, affected as much by political and cultural factors as by geography.

There are only two continents involved here. The Caibbean Sea is the body of water that is ringed by an island chain on the north and east (the Greater Antilles--Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico-- and Lesser Antilles) which many consider North America. South America (Venezuela, Colombia) and Central America (Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula) bordering the south and west.
Archipelago
The islands that make up the Greater Antilles are Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico. Overall there are four islands.
The Greater Antilles include Cuba, Hispaniola which is comprised of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Those are the four largest islands in the northwestern section of the Caribbean Sea.
The greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispanola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico) and the lesser Antilles ( everything else in the Carribean)
West Indies are the islands in the Caribbean.
Many would consider Puerto Rico and all of the greater Antilles as part of North America. In reality, with the exception of Cuba which is on the North American tectonic plate, the Caribbean island-chain known as the Greater and Lesser Antilles are on the north and east side of a separate tectonic plate called, appropriately enough, the Caribbean Plate. Puerto Rico is the smallest island of the Greater Antilles. So technically, Puerto Rico cannot be found on any of the seven continents.
