    Permutations of a wordlist with separators

    I need to crack a password consisting of 3 words separated by a dash ie
    Code:
    word-word-word
    . I have a wordlist and would like to use john or crunch or another tool to pipe all permutations of the words from my wordlist in that pattern. I can see ways to permutate the words, but not with the seperators between them. I know there must be a way to do it, but fo the life of me I cant figure it out. I would be very greatful if anyone can point me in the right direction.

    Any three(3) words have 27 permutations If word one = 1 word two = 2 and word three = 3. These possibilites are shown below. And then you have the case problem, If you have target words you might slowly build up lists by using search and replace to the below list

    1-1-1
    2-1-1
    3-1-1
    1-2-1
    2-2-1
    3-2-1
    1-3-1
    2-3-1
    3-3-1
    1-1-2
    2-1-2
    3-1-2
    1-2-2
    2-2-2
    3-2-2
    1-3-2
    2-3-2
    3-3-2
    1-1-3
    2-1-3
    3-1-3
    1-2-3
    2-2-3
    3-2-3
    1-3-3
    2-3-3
    3-3-3

    However if you have a target length for the key say 10 characters and the three words can be just random alpha like aaa-bb-ccc and you know the case you could construct a wordlist easily or use crunch-aircrack-ng or better yet elcomsoft mutation and high speed video cards. Slowly build the alpha possibilites by using letter frequency.
