You can use dictionary words, but *scrambling* their letters, as a way
to make things quite easily memorable.

e.g. Use the words "a", "good" & "friend" by interspersing the letters

   f r i e n d
 +  a
 +    d o o g    (reversed, "good", this time)

 = fardioeongd

Just be sure to *really* scramble the letters.

There's all sorts of tricks for memorising passwords, that's just one of
them.
