So I've registered 3 separate wallets at blockchain.info because I have set some up for friends and family. I noticed that there was a few words popping up multiple time in all mnemonic. So might I ask where do they generate these words from? Surely this is pretty insecure because people could try different combinations until they finally get one?

How many words are in this database it was surprising that I saw the same word pop up 3 times.

65591 different words, but AFAIK the mnemonic is dependent on your password. Did you use similar passwords?

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

I don't think it matters what words/characters you use otherwise that would be a a security risk itself.
