I suspect if the cracking code was constructed such that it had more weight on trying combinations of common words then this would be much easier to crack

I would naively think that as well - you would expand your alphabet of "symbols" to include both single letters and numbers and punctuation but also common words as well. It is still a lot of combinations to have to try though, even if less than each letter by itself.
