Hey Robert,
Nice to see a fresh approach.
First impressions:
I think that the specs require that the result start with the letter after the
input (yours starts with the input letter).
I get this result
3 :',.^:(''.''e.y)(o-~a.i.0{y)|.26{.a.}.~o=.98-33^96>a.i.0{y' '['
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
which is an error that caught me as well (should be no output).
cheers, bob
