cryptology.py is a python3 script that runs possible combinations of any given string with a minimum and maximum character length return value. It can optionally leave out results with duplicate characters as well as filter gibberish and run results against a dictionary.

In order for the cryptology.py script to properly function, you will need to pip install the NLTK library and download it's necessary data files.

Please follow the instructions on this page https://www.nltk.org/install.html

Run the NLTK Data Downloader.py script provided. A pop-up window connecting to the NLTK database will load. Download all the data files.

Run cryptology.py. Enjoy!!

Renamed lettercomb.py to cryptology.py

Cleaned up code in cryptology.py - sorted into functions

Added optional gibberish removal filter while iterating through possible combinations in cryptology.py. Seems to run faster than filtering when running dictionary check at the end, but not officially tested.

Added printed progress while in loops in cryptology.py
