ok, I was a jerk here, I took a sentence and just randomly (used an
RNG with good random source in seed, can't reconstruct) scattered
the letters in a square grid, then hand-rearranged a few to make words
or word-looking things.  Only way I can think of to reconstruct is to 
do all possible anagrams of the, er, 10^260-something letter orderings.  
And I forget what the sentence was, something like "of course, if you 
completely scatter the letters around you can't figure it out at all 
from the frequency".  Sorry.  -Goethe
