I wrote words in the wrong order before and at first glance it looked right.  Next time I had to restore my Seed from my paper, it said it was wrong.  I got desperate for days, until I tried to swap the word with the previous and luckily it did work for me.

Check your Seed twice.  Do not be lazy.
It would have been a hard to believe thing that someone could write his or her seed in the wrong other. I get it that, people could write things in the wrong order but when it comes to seeds, it’s something that I don’t see to be a common occurrence.
Why is that?
By the default, it’s a standard procedure that your seed be entered in its right order or sequence. This follows, a procedure that would have necessitate your writing down of the seed during wallet creation and a strict warning on importance to privacy.
Should you have followed the instructions and written down the seed as they are given, the sequence would be okay. I’m an event where the seed happens to be wrong, chances are, you might just have an empty wallet and could go about creating a new one.
Still, it’s not a bad advice to give these means to safety and privacy some extra care.
