--- 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.

--- 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?
