But the words themselves follow an identifiable pattern (their spelling). As such, a 4 letter word in your password is cracked much quicker than a portion of your password being 4 characters of random info.
Thanks for reminder. Likely couldn't crack these in SHA-1 (or without substantially more effort), let alone some of the more new age hashing algorithms. Still, it's impressive.
