There's a lot of good responses here already, but I want to add that password strength is usually measured in bits of enthropy, for easier comparison with recommended values of security level. For a long time 80 bits of security were considered the minimum requirement, but now this number was increased to 112 bits.
So, how many bits there are in your example? Well, the formula is easy -
Your L is 8, while your N is 10,000, so H = 106.3
This means that it's unlikely to get brute forced now, but it might become crackable in 10-20 years with your home pc.
ok thanks sir, perfect answer.So, how many bits there are in your example? Well, the formula is easy -

E.g. you can write down your entire seed, but in alphabetical order, and the only thing you need to memorize is the order of the words in the seed.
Or you can just write down the seed in the original order, but at the end, you swap two words (preferabely not the first and the last), and noone will know which words to swap to get back the original seed. Or (when words are in the original order), write an extra word somewhere in the seed, and you should only remember the additional word, which is not part of the seed.
You only need to be 100% sure that you will remember what to do.
