Descrambling and unscrambling are identical processes. GLINSET → GLISTEN. The fundamental rule: letter order never matters. Enter letters in any sequence and always receive identical complete results. Our algorithm counts letter frequencies, not sequences — which is why LISTEN and ENLIST produce the same output.
