LAPS: Meaning of Setting - Short words with unique prefixes

The update to LAPS for Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 introduced new configuration options including the ability to use passphrases rather than passwords.

Operationally this is add some benefits. However, the official documentation -  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/laps/laps-concepts-passwords-passphrases#passphrase-word-lists doesn't provide a very good explanation for the setting "Short words with unique prefixes"

The examples in the documentation and observations from implementation do not align with the short description. For example, from implementation:

IodineIslandNectarRagweedCivilianZillion

The word phrases are not exactly short; 6+6+6+7+8+7 = 40 characters, and nor is their a unique prefix.

Does anyone have a better explanation as to the meaning of passwordcomplexity setting 8 in LAPS (post 24H2)?

Cheers

P.S. the LAPS password above is no longer valid as it has been rotated.
