brute-forces
Tries every possibility
Brute-forces is the verb form of brute force—solving a problem through sheer exhaustive effort rather than elegance or strategy.
In computing, to brute-force a password is to try every possible combination until one works: The hacker brute-forced the login overnight.
More broadly, it describes muscling through any obstacle without finesse: She brute-forced her way through the math exam.
