4 choices for the first letter, 3 for the second, 2 for the third and what's left for the fourth.
Possible arrangements = 4*3*2*1 = 24
h = w+1
h-21 = 2(w-21) {assuming "he was twice as old as he was" is a misprint and should be "he was twice as old as SHE was"}
w+1-21 = 2w-42
-20+42 = w
w =22
h = 23
He is 23. She is 22
