Well, the first word is probably THE. I have doubts as to whether this is broken enough in practice if you follow standard cryptographic practice and remove spacing and punctuation; the key space size is still 26^17, assuming "random codeword" means a random string of letters and not a randomly selected string of one or more dictionary words.
