I made a program to recover my Wrong Seed so here’s a write up on how to recover it.

[!!It is a terrible idea to put your seed into any website or program on any computer that will ever be online again!!]

You can "recover" your seed considering you have all of your words and one or two went wrong while noting them down ( If you see my previous posts you'll know I lost mine hence made this program to recover)

There's two possibilities in where you got one word wrong

1. Last word (or checksum) is wrong
2. One of the first 23 words are wrong

FIRST CASE :

For the first case it's really easy to recover.

Let's say you got the last one wrong i.e you wrote immense instead of island

Just enter your wrong 24 words in the mnemonic box in this website [!! It is a terrible idea to put your seed into any website or program on any computer that will ever be online again. Also the website isn't mine it's learnmeabitcoin.com a good website for learning.!!]

Just copy and paste the same entropy and you'll get the right mnemonic , Try to recover using that phrase, if it doesn't work its second case

SECOND CASE :

Considers checksum (or last word) is right

​

It takes all the words closest to the seed words using the Levenstein's distance and tries all possible conditions where only one word is wrong and gets the seed

​

Example : The 24 words I'm using here as example are lift cricket must assist repair dose damp acid notice blade regular mobile pudding rival process hazard anchor meat water current gorilla multiply cruel wrist

​

I'll be intentionally changing the third word must to music

​

Now using the program , Ill be running it generates the files seeds, log.log, allnumbers
where seeds contains all the possible combinations and allnumbers contains the binary form of seeds and lastly log.log which if successfully finds the seed stores it in the end of the file

And voila there's your seed

With this I end my write up with the links
