Grrr.  I remember now why I like imperative style better.  Six
functions!  I had one with "only" five functions that worked if the
letters were unique, but never returned if there were duplicates.
Obviously that was no good for newspaper "Jumble" games.

Now don't tell me I can't hide a 'pea to find my place...

(I gotta get over 60% this time.  This Prof is a hard grader.
Just forget there's no comments. :)

(define (arrange aword)
  (cond
    ((empty? aword) (cons empty empty))
    (else (inter/all (first aword) (arrange (rest aword))))))


(define (inter/all elem alist)
  (cond
    ((empty? alist) empty)
    (else
     (inter/one elem
                (cons 'pea (first alist))
                (inter/all elem (rest alist))))))


(define (inter/one elem aword alist)
  (cond
    ((more? aword)
     (cons (pea->elem elem aword)
           (inter/one elem (next aword) alist)))
    (else
     (cons (pea->elem elem aword) alist))))
