D, I, M, O, S, W

Step 2: Identify the positions of the required letters

· The third letter from the left in the rearranged sequence is M.

· The second letter from the right in the rearranged sequence is S.

Step 3: Find the positions of M and S in the English alphabet

· M is the 13th letter in the English alphabet.

· S is the 19th letter in the English alphabet.

Step 4: Count the number of letters between M and S

To find the number of letters between M (13) and S (19), subtract their positions and subtract 1 (since we exclude both M and S):

19−13−1=5.
