now u guys are forgetting something. Hackers don't just try to gues the password. They use different programs, bruteforcers being quite common.
Doesn't matter if the password is Sparky (say the name of ur dog) or kaotvj the brute forcer doesn't care if it means anything or not.
And UK31337 as far as I know u are right, bruteforcers do usually start with letters, in the alphabetical order. But then again it really doesn't matter that much, if they can try for example 50 differnet passwords in one minute, it means that by starting it with a number instead of a letter would make it take about 1 min longer to crack. But the longer the password the longer it takes. And then there is also the dictionary attack, which is bruteforcing but instead of trying all different combinations it uses different words, so having like nfsuabauyife as the password makes it impossible for dictionary attacks to get through.
