I was in the middle of thinking through the algorithm when I looked at it and saw the password in the text --- the password worked but I still want to code the algorithm later to confirm.
That's sort of what I mean here. It's like solving a wordsearch puzzle. There can't be more than a couple dozen strings with structure xyx, or xyyx. Find them by eye and work outward and see if it's zxyxz, and so on. Decided to make this process into my algorithm.
