Largest Subsequence
Description
Given is a string $s$ of length $n$. In one operation you can select the lexicographically largest$^\dagger$ subsequence of string $s$ and cyclic shift it to the right$^\ddagger$.
Your task is to calculate the minimum number of operations it would take for $s$ to become sorted, or report that it never reaches a sorted state.
$^\dagger$A string $a$ is lexicographically smaller than a string $b$ if and only if one of the following holds:
- $a$ is a prefix of $b$, but $a \ne b$;
- In the first position where $a$ and $b$ differ, the string $a$ has a letter that appears earlier in the alphabet than the corresponding letter in $b$.
$^\ddagger$By cyclic shifting the string $t_1t_2\ldots t_m$ to the right, we get the string $t_mt_1\ldots t_{m-1}$.
Each test consists of multiple test cases. The first line contains a single integer $t$ ($1 \le t \le 10^4$) — the number of test cases. The description of the test cases follows.
The first line of each test case contains a single integer $n$ ($1 \le n \le 2 \cdot 10^5$) — the length of the string $s$.
The second line of each test case contains a single string $s$ of length $n$, consisting of lowercase English letters.
It is guaranteed that sum of $n$ over all test cases does not exceed $2 \cdot 10^5$.
For each test case, output a single integer — the minimum number of operations required to make $s$ sorted, or $-1$ if it's impossible.
Input
Each test consists of multiple test cases. The first line contains a single integer $t$ ($1 \le t \le 10^4$) — the number of test cases. The description of the test cases follows.
The first line of each test case contains a single integer $n$ ($1 \le n \le 2 \cdot 10^5$) — the length of the string $s$.
The second line of each test case contains a single string $s$ of length $n$, consisting of lowercase English letters.
It is guaranteed that sum of $n$ over all test cases does not exceed $2 \cdot 10^5$.
Output
For each test case, output a single integer — the minimum number of operations required to make $s$ sorted, or $-1$ if it's impossible.

Note
In the first test case, the string $s$ is already sorted, so we need no operations.
In the second test case, doing one operation, we will select cb and cyclic shift it. The string $s$ is now abc which is sorted.
In the third test case, $s$ cannot be sorted.
In the fourth test case we will perform the following operations:
- The lexicographically largest subsequence is zca. Then $s$ becomes abzc.
- The lexicographically largest subsequence is zc. Then $s$ becomes abcz. The string becomes sorted.
Thus, we need $2$ operations.
