The attacker will naturally start with a smaller dictionary, most common words, which reduces the search space greatly. So unless you're using some of those SAT words, it's even less secure.
- contravariant 11y ago5000 words is pretty small for a dictionary. Of course if you're using really simple words to make your passwords then you're out of luck, but choosing random words from a 5000 word dictionary is reasonably secure. Language contains a surprising amount of entropy, not as much as random characters, but still enough that I can be reasonably sure that this sentence is unique.
