My solution scrambles only part of the inside of the word, depending on
the word length, and favours keeping more from the start of the word. So
with this example it's taking the six letter 'r辿msu辿' and deciding to
scramble 3 letters, 'msu' (remains after we take two from the start, one
from the end). So with that input, the e's wouldn't be touched.

I just didn't think about that before I posted - the second output I
posted showed some longer accented words with the e's moving around
properly :).
