I was working on a method to secure seed words

You do realize that the better/stronger your method is, the better the chance that an accident/stroke/brain damage (which I hope will never happen!) can make the coins unrecoverable by your family, right?
You do realize that in 10 years you may have forgotten the wonder method for securing the seed?
Sorry, no matter how good or bad your method is, you should not use that.

And an advice: it may be better to put that .. key... into a code tag, since now it strangely shows (at least to me) a space character that doesn't actually exist

Ok, so I commented on another thread that I was working on a method to secure seed words, and soon enough I got some replies telling me about a gazillion times this had been attempted before, which always ended on somebody losing their funds because they couldn't remember their "encryption method". That was to be expected, and I appreciate them saving me the time to post something useless for the benefit of... well, nobody.
But on the other hand that got a different set of gears turning. The benefits of encrypting your seed words are undeniable, yet you should do so in a way that's hard for others but easy for you. That's the real challenge.

So here's a bit of a challenge for you guys: I did come up with a way to encrypt (kinda) my seed words, that is indeed very easy for me, I want to know how easy (or hard, hopefully) it is for people knowing a whole lot more than I do (doesn't take much) on the matter. I don't want to end up calling it "unhackable", and have a 12 year old make me look like an idiot...

So here it is:

Code:
anqouiimmaecpaosnagcodaacdarnetvasraarlecmolmappaasddaerltanveisgaugelluapqauzenazluhgormebvraesqeumeoldoidneossvoerlraouhncaapceanhaceisftardaiobredbi


That's the seed phrase.

Here's a few hints:
   
  • 12 words. All in English.
  • None of them are capitalized.
  • Each word is 5 characters long.
  • No encryption algorithm has been used.
   
So there it is, what do you guys say? Can you  crack it?
I will post the actual words when you guys are ready.
