How does a dictionary hack work when passwords are validated wholesale?

Let's say I have a password like

TextboxBoldLinkItalic24Protection

Five words, each recognizable on its own. Is this hackable, since the individual words in the password aren't validated one at a time. Seems to me that since passwords are validated all at once, this would be as effective as a random string of characters the same length.

Am I missing something?
