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.

I have not been as exacting as my two respondents.  I began a reasoning process process and have left it to the solver to proceed to my declared outcome.

I don't think that I was remiss in not asking for the processes to arrive at the letter array to be sorted, but it is good to see.

The Dej Mar secondary must be considered as a legitimate solution (unfortunately I had posted before thinking of this post). 

Nowhere in my requirements have I declared the status of the words to be used.  The implication of 'words' can have a range of connotations; not so strangely that brings an issue, I recall placing "ami" in my grid when designing this; "ami"(Fr)= friend, pal, mate.

Yes, I was thinking of English words only; "eft" was a thought, "moa", not sure, but the latter two, never.  In terms of the latter two on that list, while my Oxford does not reference them, one must not be dismissive as that being the only authority.
