If a standard dictionary attack fails, it is highly probable the target password is a variation of a common word (e.g., changing "password" to "P@ssword123!"). Instead of finding a larger list, you can dynamically mutate your existing wordlist-probable.txt using Hashcat Rules.

Run Hashcat using brute-force or hybrid mask modes to try billions of combinations per second.
