Define W(p) as the word in position p.
We can see that P(w) and W(p) are inverses: P(W(p)) = p and W(P(w)) = w.
Examples:
W(10) = aaaaaacdee
P(aaaaaacdee) = 10
W(115246685191495243) = euler
P(euler) = 115246685191495243Find W(P(legionary) + P(calorimeters) - P(annihilate) + P(orchestrated) - P(fluttering)).
Give your answer using lowercase characters (no punctuation or space).
