I'M CURIOUS, JUST HOW TOUGH IS IT TO CRACK A 12-WORD PHRASE IN CRYPTOS?

I've seen people crack passwords, what's the difference between passwords and phrases, why do I think phrases are easier to crack than passwords, they're just words, but there are letters, numbers and special characters in passwords? I'm not getting it, WTF
The words for the 12 word seed phrase are picked from a list of around 2048 words, so there are 2048^12 possible combinations of those words. I just looked it up, and the total number of combos is:

544,451,787,073,501,541,541,399,371,890,829,138,329,6​87,906,024,032.

If you have none of those words already, you've gotta potentially go through at least a massively significant number of combos before you'll find one that works and leads to a full balance etc.

12 words is impossible to be known, if 12 word it may take years to be done at max speed

If it was one word maybe, but it's 12 words. The amount of different combinations that are in a passphrase is absolutely insane.
