Gyro-Lattice 2- Threes (Posted on 2008-05-23) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Please reflect upon "Gyro-Lattice 1 - Arrows" at puzzle 6061.
The rotations available are:
- [V] vertical [red]
- [H] horizontal [magenta]
- [R] right-down diagonal [green]
- [L] left-down diagonal [salmon]

A 3 x 3 section of the LED lattice is activated. 9 different letters have been
entered so that 3 words are read horizontally, and 3 vertically down.

Each letter is scrambled with just two programmed operations,
being V: ± 1 and H: ×/÷ 2.

Only values A=1... Z=26 are available; operations generating fractions or need for wraparound are void. Also one operation with V is paired with one of H. eg:
   T(20) → H÷ plus V+ → K(11)
   M(13) → V+ plus H÷ → G(7)

Unscramble this lattice:
  
    6  10   9      F J I
    8  10  11      H J K
    3  26  11      C Z K
Note: Any initial number may have up to 8 legitimate outputs

Reminder! Three words across and three down, and all letters unique.
