answer by Dej Mar)
The following is an interchange of rows with columns for Dej Mar's second presented solution. It's not the same as the first solution, so indeed there's a second solution, keeping MIXUP in a row, that's not a trivial variation of the first.
PMUIX
XUPMI
UPIXM
IXMPU
MIXUP
(A trivial variation would merely change the order of the rows, such as:
MIXUP
PMUIX
XUPMI
UPIXM
IXMPU
)
