brute forced
Solved without finesse
Brute forced describes solving a problem through exhaustive effort rather than elegance or strategy.
In computing, a brute-forced password was cracked by trying every possible combination until one worked.
More broadly, anything brute forced was achieved through sheer persistence or overwhelming force rather than finesse: We brute forced our way through the project with late nights and coffee.
