I think I like an alternative that uses full words instead of a string of no sense symbols and mixed case letters.

Something like what What 3 Words does but for short URLs. That would be easy to convey and type

That's a very good idea.
Beside the number of permutations it gives, another benefit of using three words is they could form the border of the QR code, with the fourth side being the domain name
