Re: Bruteforce partial electrum seed words

Edit:
I have 13 text files with possible seed words (1.txt, 2.txt...13.txt). most of the files contain 4-10 words.
I'm looking for a way to brute-force the seed based on those text files.



I know it's possible bruteforce 4 missing words, but how about the following scenario:

Let's say that I don't know any of the words, but for 12 words (out of 13) I know the last one or two letters, and for two words I know the first letter.
I also know their order and even some of their length.

Is there a known tool that I can play with to solve such puzzle?

I couldn't understand the problem. Say you have 7.txt with 10 seed words. You just need two more words to make 12 word seed. After lotta combination and permutations and filtering bad seeds and getting final address and looking up on blockchain for utxo. Is that what you are doing?

There are couple of questions
1. Is each file corresponds to one wallet or one word seed?
2. Do you know the positions of missing seed words in each file?
3. Are these 12 word mnemonic seeds or 15 or 24? (If they are 15 words or more and your answer to 2 is no then you can lose all hopes to crack them, most probably.)

If you can answer that, they it's kinda easy to comeup with bruteforce solutions...
