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
