Regaining the lost order

[davidjackson]

Suppose you break the whole text into three- or four-word chunks, and then shuffle words randomly within those chunks.

But even if you did this, you wouldn't alter the statistics of the individual words, and nobody has been able to break down the words.
So the words must be encrypted (abbreviated, encrypted, elongated, insert the transformation method of your choice here) before shuffling; and if they are encrypted, why bother adding the additional trouble of shuffling words?
