In practice, I believe any decent password cracker would start with a dictionary of the most common word

There are some common human patterns. In music for example it's unusual to play a b c d, its more common to play patterns such as a c b d. So instead of using a word, even a stupid human more likely would e.g. turn syllables by a pattern. Such a pattern isn't hard to crack, but a starting point for contemplation.
