Solution
The machine rearranges the words and numbers in such a way that the words are arranged according to the length of words in descending order from left end. Words of the same length are arranged in reserve English alphabetical order, while numbers are arranged in ascending order on the right end in each step.
Input: toy 18 till 24 36 is of never 87 99 cut 73
Step I: never toy till 24 36 is of 87 99 cut 73 18
Step II: never toy till 36 is of 87 99 cut 73 18 24
Step III: never toy till cut is of 87 99 73 18 24 36
Step IV: never toy till cut of is 87 99 18 24 36 73
