No, if you ask for a solution with minimum Kolmogorov complexity.

It's the latter which has almost always been the aim in cryptanalyis.

One does not need a OTP. A book cipher or code would suffice.

Agreed. I gave one example from a large collection.

If there may be some more spaces in the decoded message than in the crypted one, then

I somehow found this exact same puzzle here:

It has some clues, but the solution isn't given.

Don't I win a prize or something? I would like the "free, all expenses paid, 7D/6N holiday at a location of my choosing", thanks. The other prizes you offered didn't interest me.
