Having uncommon words doesn't make a password hard to crack, they're in the dictionary just the same.
Having long words does make brute-force cracking harder.
Which is why everyone tries the dictionary search before the brute force.
Of course you're correct and I don't claim that these are uncrackable. Just a way to practice a bit of clojure while the missus had her girlfriends over.
The headline is "hard to crack" which seems misleading.
