Please be very careful before entering even key information into a random website, and make sure to review the code.

Thanks for this suggestion & caution and I'll try it with the code on an air-gapped PC.

This is almost a link-only answer. And the link is no longer valid (error 404)

We generally like answers to be a more elaborate here. Since the asker stated that he is a programming novice, you could for example further explain how the asker would use the tool to recover the missing word. Note that we generally remove link-only answers as low-quality.

<p>I'm trying to recover my Wasabi wallet. For some reason the 12th word of the 12-word mnemonic I wrote was wrong (not in BIP39 list). I could manually guess up to 2048 times, but was hoping there might be an algorithmic way to work through an array of the 2048 words and associate the result with my public keys for the wallet to find the right word.</p>

<p>I'm a newbie programmer, so any guidance on an approach to solve would greatly help and help me avoid a long manual slog. Thanks.</p>

There is a 4-bit checksum, and there is code such as https://github.com/bharathrao/bip39check to list words that satisfy the checksum, so that should cut you down to roughly 128 possibilities.

That definitely makes it a more manageable manual task... thanks Nate!

I created a little tool for this a while back: https://sutterseba.github.io/. Make sure to run it offline and verify the code first.

# Algorithm to recover missing 12th word (of 12) in BIP39 mnemonic

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-08-13)

I'm trying to recover my Wasabi wallet. For some reason the 12th word of the 12-word mnemonic I wrote was wrong (not in BIP39 list). I could manually guess up to 2048 times, but was hoping there might be an algorithmic way to work through an array of the 2048 words and associate the result with my public keys for the wallet to find the right word.

I'm a newbie programmer, so any guidance on an approach to solve would greatly help and help me avoid a long manual slog. Thanks.
