Note that this is for demonstrational purposes only. It is not realistically possible to uncover the answer here because, even when miraculously guessing the phrase correctly, one also needs to match the original punctuation, capitalization, and other aspects exactly, and because the tool makes no attempt at finding the incremental counter value. The counter value could be anything from zero to several thousand and encoded in various ways (numeric, binary, before hashing, after hashing, etc.).
