How the Sorting Algorithm Works

The sorting algorithm used in this decryption process works as follows:

  1. Each possible shift is applied to the ciphertext, creating 26 potential decryptions.
  2. Each decryption is analyzed for the presence of valid English words.
  3. A confidence score is calculated based on the number and length of valid words found.
  4. The results are sorted in descending order of confidence, with the highest scoring decryption at the top.
  5. The algorithm also considers factors like valid english words to refine the scoring.

This approach helps identify the most likely correct decryption by prioritizing results that contain more recognizable English words and phrases.
