Technically it'd need to be:

mormon / 2m = oron

A word isn't a product of letters, that would made mormon = nomorm, but an ordered set, where the subtract operation gives you the first set without any element also found on the second set (in set notation A-B = A-(A intersection B)

You're right, that would be more technically correct.

If words are an ordered set, then mormon = morn

Words are a base 27 integer. (mormon - mon) / a000 + on = moron
