I think you made a mistake there. x is obviously the first character,
because it's followed by -1, which is the smallest of all.
Furthermore, you missed an a when reversing.

The result I get by hand is:

x EOF
a aaaaa...
a aaaa...
a aaab...
w aaay...
a aac...
a aay...
a ac...
a ay...
c b...
a c...
b w...
y x...
a y...
