gibberish
garbled words or garbled letters. When composing a password it is best to use a password generator that picks a properly random string.

To detect if a string is composed of words, you could look for them in a dictonary, or check the distribution of the letters. Gibberish would likely have even distribution. Words would have a letter distribution matching the distribution of Scrabble tiles.
