Re: Cryptology

I did some playing around with this and made something to pattern-match against /usr/share/dict/words, and there are very very few words that some of those scrambled words can make and the words they do make don't fit very well into the rest of it. Is there a possibility that the words are reversed? And ranking by popularity in the crypt, the order of letters is: W(13%) U(10%) N(8%) O L(6%) F G Q B(5%) C P R Z A(1%) I K S. There aren't enough letters to get that exact so many of the percentages are the same so it's not quite exact. If you guys need a boost, here are the possibilities I found for 'buuconac'.

base word: 01123452
match: aggerose (01123452)
match: alleyite (01123452)
match: ammelide (01123452)
match: ammeline (01123452)
match: annexive (01123452)
match: annexure (01123452)
match: appetize (01123452)
match: apprizer (01123452)
match: approver (01123452)
match: Arretine (01123452)
match: assemble (01123452)
match: bookmark (01123452)
match: bookrack (01123452)
match: coonskin (01123452)
match: deerhair (01123452)
match: Errantia (01123452)
match: Essenize (01123452)
match: foothalt (01123452)
match: footrest (01123452)
match: irrelate (01123452)
match: keelhaul (01123452)
match: Obbenite (01123452)
match: occlusal (01123452)
match: ollenite (01123452)
match: Ossetine (01123452)
match: rootfast (01123452)
match: rootwalt (01123452)
match: seedbird (01123452)
match: Ubbenite (01123452)
match: unnestle (01123452)
match: woodbind (01123452)
match: woodgeld (01123452)
match: woodland (01123452)
match: woodshed (01123452)
match: woodyard (01123452)

It seems like there's a good chance U = O according to all those matches. The most common words seem to be using it.
