No I haven't tried that one yet.

The tool at the beginning of this puzzle is just a file I keep local on my drive so I do not need to connected to the net when converting binary.

It specifically makes what you are currently looking at a breeze.

But I don't do well on the ones without spaces or where they were replaced and it's all longer words.

I am fairly sure it is not what you think it is.

I wasn't really committed to anything. The letters came from the entries on the linked page.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a cipher with a key:
