If I had more time I could probably do it with fewer tools.

Hmm.  Some interesting solutions.  l went a little avant garde.  I created a table of values for the alphabet and then fed that into the data stream.  A few extra steps but I got there.

Fun challenge!  I first tried using REGEX but quickly realized it wouldn't work easily.  Decided to just check each letter in word2 that matches word1 and replace with a '-' if matches. Then checked which ones ended up with all '-' and correct # of letters.  Not sure if this was most efficient, but it worked.  Might be good candidate for a batch macro 🙂
