That's only true if someone guessing your pass phrase knows that it's made up of words and not random characters.
The idea behind pass phrases is that these things are easy for your human brain to remember, but long enough to be hard to guess by typing random characters (or even combinations of words) by an attacker or a computer (or even a LLM)
Or a person just includes passphrase cracking tools on the database they're working on.
