Representing Actions as Permutations

The idea is that if you must do a fixed number of operations of multiple types, you can make those operations letters, and permutate them. For example, if you have a grid of $4\times 6$ and you want to walk from one corner to the opposite one, WLOG you need to go up $4$ times and right $6$ times. You can do that in any order, so basically you are arranging

   UUUURRRRRR

which simplifies the problem.

Example: 2024 AMC 8 Problems/Problem 13. In this problem you can treat going up as $U$ and going down as $D$. Since you have to end up on the ground in $6$ steps you have $3$ U's and $3$ D's; same as above. There are some special cases --- begin with U end with D and invalid stuff.
