The tree looks ok, but does the algorithm meet your specs? I understood them to include, randomly choose an argument letter to be the top of the tree, randomly add to it a second letter and scramble to form the second row of the tree, randomly add a third letter and scramble to form the third row, and so on. The present algorithm always chooses the first letter of the argument to be the top of the tree, always adds the second letter and scrambles to form the second row, always adds the third letter and scrambles to form the third row, and so on.
