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?

Do you know the addresses you are looking for?
I think I could change my https://github.com/PawelGorny/lostword to implement solver of your problem, but it all makes no sense if you do not know what you are looking for.

Yes, I know the public address.

OK, I will try to do this tomorrow.

Did you have time to do that?
Thanks!


Yes, I have prepared a new release: https://github.com/PawelGorny/lostword/releases/tag/v0.8.0
Now it works with a candidates on the given positions, for example:
