The word 'Strawberry' contains exactly **3** 'r's. Spelling it out: S-t-**r**-a-w-b-e-**r**-**r**-y. The 'r's appear in positions 3, 8, and 9 (1-based indexing).

No tricks with case (all lowercase), whitespace, or Unicode apply here.

The word 'Strawberry' contains exactly three instances of the letter 'r'. Breaking it down: S-t-**r**-a-w-b-e-**r**-**r**-y. The first 'r' appears in the third position, and there is a double 'r' (two consecutive 'r's) near the end of the word before the final 'y'. This brings the total count to three, not two as many might initially assume by overlooking the consecutive pair.
