That's very cool, but it doesn't correctly find the solution with the first string alone, it gives a wildly wrong answer (BEACH ASIONY MISE I WILLS BY WHO MY NEVER KISS HE-M UNDELIVE)

So don't trust that a system doesn't have a simple solution because an automated solver like doesn't provide a correct answer.

If you put them both in at once, the second output is 100% correct:

Seems to be non-deterministic. Sometimes I get 'Hey Buys', sometimes I get 'Hey Guys', and sometimes I get:

Yeah. It's not the best algorithm.

I looked for a while and http://www-i6.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/unravel/ seems to be state-of-the-art.
