If you use combinations does this lower the word entropy?...
Stellar, if you have to ask this question rather than immediately comprehending the answer, then you don't understand entropy well enough to make use of the information and are basically asking Thomas to do your thinking (and work) for you.
To see that the answer to this question is obvious, first you need to get a better grasp of entropy. You can look it up on the Net or read my introductory blog about entropy or Anton's more extensive description of entropy that he graciously posted on this forum.
Questions are always good, I encourage people to ask questions, but some questions indicate that you have some homework to do and getting a one-word answer (or a longer answer) from Thomas would not give you the base you need to understand the answer fully. You will have a better grasp of what Thomas posted up-thread if you do some background reading on entropy so that you can answer this question for yourself.
