Yes I did and continue to use in brut force decipherment.
But to use brut force you have to, 1st define the family
of language you will apply your brut force.
That is, Indo-European, Chinise, Arabic ets.
Once you define than all languages in this family should be
taken into consideration. None of them should be excluded.
