It would seem that two short words separated by a “special” character would be a great password.

Give the hackers another 10 characters to worry about.
26 lower case, 26 upper case, 10 digits, 10 specials = 72
(72) ** password length *** equals a long time for crackers.
Even if you cheat like I suggested — [(62)**4 (10) (62)**4] — is still a long time.
