Pick out the only word that would NOT be possible or sensible.
If, for example, your 'master' word were STRAWBERRIES and you had decoded as far as RABB - - , it would be likely that the word you were aiming for was RABBIT ... certainly worth sticking-with and checking; whereas if you reckoned you had reached REB..., you might be safe (REBOUND, for instance; but you haven't got the right vowels for that), but REBB ... , with its double B, does not look as though it leads to a word made only from the letters in STRAWBERRIES.
Example: if 03625847159 'spells' EDUCATIONAL, which of the following would NOT make a recognisable word? 251390 95848630 2568471 51842690120 These, if duly decoded, would give you CANDLE, LATITUDE and CAUTION (the -TION group lifted wholesale from the original word; usually they'd be more artfully hidden); the final word would have been ANTICULENCE, which consists entirely of plausible syllables but ~ as far as we know ~ does not exist or have any meaning.
