No doubt real words would be easy to crack but the OP said:
four words consisting of letters, numbers and symbols
So, I'm assuming a "word" could be:
z(*1-U+Px#2~,7

There are only four possible triplets to be considered:
word1,word2,word3
word1,word2,word4
word1,word4,word3
word4,word2,word3
Each triplet has only 6 posible combinations:
word1,word2,word3
word1,word3,word2
word2,word1,word3
word2,word3,word1
word3,word2,word1
word3,word1,word2
Just list them and try out each one.

Hi
I have four words consisting of letters, numbers and symbols
which I use as passwords.
I will be very greatful for any assistance as I saw on one of
the forums that it can be done with excel but I have not been
able to find it.
I wonder if anyone has any comments on the security of passwords formed
from two or more real words? I know single dictionary words are fairly
easily found via a computer dictionary attack.
