RE: canc led
I was assuming you were missing the last word, and there are scripts you can run in python to help try and find the one word you're missing as long as you know the order

Tried it, it didnt work, i know the order is correct, but I dont know the position of the missing word, would it be fair to say it is a lost cause?, even if it just one word.
It's not a lost cause it's just difficult. There's 2048 words used in bip39. So the missing word could be any of those in any of 12 positions... so 24,576 different combinations. So you could get the list of bip39 words and try each of them at each spot until it works. I would say it's a lost cause if you only remembered one or two words because then the possibilities are endless.
I appreciate the info
so basically 2048 x 12 is the possibilities?
so where Can i run the script to guess the word?
thanks
thanks
You'll have to write your own or search online, I found a word list on https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/bip-0039-wordlists.md
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I hope you figure it out!
thank you for the all the info, at least I will be learning as I continue trying.
