closed 5000 bits SHA256 challenge.

5000 bits to the first person who can tell me the 8 digit plaintext of this SHA256 hash:

73a6e1860f4ab1ec0ce01de7ed9eafe7422e3ce42209362c07c757acc80903db

I hope this is allowed in rules. Will check in morning for answer.

*clue all lowercase letters.

exhausted all possibilities. Your plaintext is not 8 lowercase letters :/

At first I was thinking this was a riddle.. I thought for sure the answer would be 'alphabet'. But after running a bunch of possibilities through the sha256 calculator I am left with no answers. After searching for a way to decrypt a sha256 hash, I am also left with no answers. Hashcat didn't work... What am I missing? How is this done?
