I wonder if you string together enough words can it be a valid key?

I would hope so, sentences and words are some of the most secure passwords/phrases you can use

then someone uses a dictionary attack and your password gets cracked within minutes

see, you didn’t get the whole comic. 4 words out of a dicitionary with 2000 words has more combinations then a single uncommon non gibberish baseword with numeral and puction at the end. as long as the attacker knows your method.

a dicitonary attack will not lower the entropy of 44 bits, thats what the comic is trying to say
