You can't decrypt hashes :)
Could you send it to my moneybutton (teamwinnaar@moneybutton.com)?

Yet the first answer is the correct one

That's why when implementing hashing technology, in most use cases, you want to salt the hash (add some random string to it) and/or use long unpopular strings.

Thx man!
I didn't brute force it either, but the least I can do is explain what happened here.
There's databases, so called rainbow tables, with precomputed hashes of a lot of short words, strings and sentences. So you can simply look up an indexed hash.
