\--- 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 pass*word*. 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 `337`.
\--- 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 `231`.
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars: \*\*
