Advent of Code
--- Day 4: High-Entropy Passphrases ---
A new system policy has been put in place that requires all
accounts to use a passphrase instead of simply a password. A
passphrase consists of a series of words (lowercase letters)
separated by spaces.
To ensure security, a valid passphrase must contain no
duplicate words.
For example:
* aa bb cc dd ee is valid.
* aa bb cc dd aa is not valid - the word aa appears more
than once.
* aa bb cc dd aaa is valid - aa and aaa count as different
words.
The system's full passphrase list is available as your
puzzle input. How many passphrases are valid?
Your puzzle answer was 466.
--- Part Two ---
For added security, yet another system policy has been put
in place. Now, a valid passphrase must contain no two words
that are anagrams of each other - that is, a passphrase is
invalid if any word's letters can be rearranged to form any
other word in the passphrase.
For example:
* abcde fghij is a valid passphrase.
* abcde xyz ecdab is not valid - the letters from the
third word can be rearranged to form the first word.
* a ab abc abd abf abj is a valid passphrase, because all
letters need to be used when forming another word.
* iiii oiii ooii oooi oooo is valid.
* oiii ioii iioi iiio is not valid - any of these words
can be rearranged to form any other word.
Under this new system policy, how many passphrases are
valid?
Your puzzle answer was 251.
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two
gold stars: **
At this point, you should return to your advent calendar and
try another puzzle.
If you still want to see it, you can get your puzzle input.
