If there are 250,000 words, that is around 18 bits. So three randomly chosen words strung together give you around 54 bits. On the other hand, an alphanumeric character is around 6 bits, so 9 of them strung together is about 54 bits. So, assuming your dictionary was 250,000 words, both of the passwords you posted were about the same quality.
> Or are there also dictionaries that contain combos of words?!
Your software just concatenates words and other well known sequences (123, zxcvbn).
Check out the great password entropy checker called zxcvbn:
