Trying to count ''al-jannah'' didn't bring the result 77. But maybe it will get to 77 if we consider "paradise" to be synonymous with "garden", because they are basically the same word and heaven is described as "gardens under which rivers flow", repeatedly, in the Qur'an.

If the word in the context of the verse refers to the garden(s) in heaven, it is specified in the translation by ''[in heaven]''.
The list also includes words, that have a different meaning, other than "garden". The purpose is not that it makes sense to count them, but to understand how apologists got to the number 77.
