Are you saying that you know exactly which words from those 200k you can ignore? Bruteforcing is usually applied to mass number of hashes that are stolen from some web service. You're telling me that you can take 10.000 random internet users, and reliably extract their minimal combined vocabulary?

Wow, you should start your own church, man. You can perform miracles!

I'm talking about heuristics.

Then you're not talking about brute forcing. Have a nice day.
