Answer: There are 3 R's in the word "Strawberry".

The word "Strawberry" is spelled S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. When we count the occurrences of the letter 'R', we find it appears three separate times. The first 'R' is the third letter. A second and third 'R' appear consecutively as the eighth and ninth letters, forming the double 'R' sequence before the final 'Y'. No other letters in the word are 'R', so the total count is exactly three.

Breaking down the spelling of the word "Strawberry" makes the count clear. The word is spelled S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. The first "r" appears as the third letter, right after the "t" to form the "str" consonant cluster at the beginning of the word. The second and third "r"s appear consecutively as the eighth and ninth letters, right before the final "y". Therefore, counting them all together yields a total of three.
