A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. 

The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.

(All the numbers are two digits numbers and are ar­ranged as per some logic based on the value of the number.)

Input: win 56 32 93 bat for 46 him 28 11 give chance

Solutions ---

It is evident that one word and one number are arranged in each step. The numbers are arranged from the left and the words are arranged from the right. 

In the first step the word which comes last in the dictionary is shifted to the extreme right, while the highest number is shifted to the extreme left. 

In the second step the word which appears at the second last position in dictionary order is moved to the extreme right while the lowest number is shifted to the extreme left position. 

The same procedure is followed to get the final output.
