I'm really curious what were the magic words.

> Alex had actually tried to brute force the hash earlier, but had downloaded a list of the top 10,000 most popular words to do it, which turned out not to be big enough to find it. Once he had a big enough word list, he got the answer.

They don't reveal the answer.

It's not "hot dog". I wrote in another comment how I found the solution but to give you a clue it is AI related.
