There are 26 letters in the alphabet, you can combine 10 of them in ~140 trillion different ways. There are ~170,000 English words currently in use, you can combine 3 of them in ~5 quadrillion different ways.

Remembering 3 words is a lot *easier* than remembering 10 letters, while also being a lot more *secure*.
