My phones auto-complete shows how predictable English is. Lets start by guessing "And".
I see predictions: lastly also I
Let's pick "I".
Next I see: will believe am
If type "t" I get: think thought.
Let's pick "thought"
Next I see: I you it
I'll help it out and enter passwords.
Next I see: was would were
Let's pick "were". Etc.
A passphrase containing the word "password(s)" seems like an easy thing to guess especially given how popular "password" is as a password. Use of "thought" vs. "believe(d)" may just be my preference (curious if others see "thought" as a prediction).
I suspect if you had a sample of my writing, you could learn my word preferences and prioritize words I regularly use. I'm seeing half the words in auto-complete's first three guesses. Most of the rest are synonyms of a top three guess. Only the word "passwords" broke that pattern. I wouldn't recommend such a predictable passphrase like that.
