 I know, I posted it just as a reference for others 🙂

Well, we don't have enough clues. So far that still leave us with so much combinations that it will be imposible to iterate trough all of them in our lifetimes. 

But if we would know the length of each word or the length  of just some words that would make deciphering more interesting. 

Nothing truly changed except number of possible combinations dropped from 3 nonillion to 1 nonillion  or from 604 words to 302 possible words

I'm curious what's  @fiatbrecher 's method and how far he really came. Does he work with supercomputers? 

 
 So  @Asanoha posted "mother" as the 12th word, yet there's not even an "R" in his letter list. 

This is disingenuous. I was under the impression his seed phrase was only 3 and 4 letter words, consisting of only the letters copied.

Not the first 3-4 letters of any length words.

This is impossible. He might as well not even have given letters. Total waste of time. I regret even engaging. 
 Agreed, it was misleading indeed but I assume it's because of his english is a second language just it is for me and sometimes In my head sounds all logical but not when I write it in English :) 

Yes @Asanoha recently cleared this up that all these letters are, the first 3 for two words with unknown length and first 4 letters of remaining 10 words again with unknown length. Then the clue was the checksum word "mother" that cut possible words by half exluding letter "m" and "t" but there are still to many possible combinations. My grand, grand, grand, grand, grand, grand sons and daughters might have an option cracking this with their neurolinks in their sleep :) 
 I appreciate your efforts🙏🏽 
 I don’t remember ever saying there were only four letter words, can you show me where I said that? https://i.nostr.build/mlM5k.png https://i.nostr.build/roZ5d.png https://i.nostr.build/Z539Q.png  
 It was here :) nostr:nevent1qqstzxutfyjylvkaukgwuyt4kl8ht3m2z2x8czq2uw7aen662zu45sqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yct5dyhxxmmd9upzpknx6csaqkah5ltycxklur4xggw20kmq6yyfekvtqmx0e5829mtcqvzqqqqqqykra5nw 
 Ah yes sorry I could have worded that better, although I did say first 4 in second sentence https://i.nostr.build/roZe2.jpg  
 No worries at all! I see what you mean now. Thanks for clarifying and providing the link. Much appreciated! 😊👍 
 My original words are about a method: 
1. among the 2048 words in BIP-39, cut the first 4 letters out first
2. delete all the words containing these 10 letters, leaving only about 600 candidate words.
3. to uniquely express 12 seed words, each taking the first 4 letters requires 48 letters. Only 46 are given here, so there are 2 words that are 3 letters long, and there are 10 words are 4 letters in length.
4.  run a letter counting program for random combinations of 12 words on the compiled 600-length word list

It's hard to understand from these words that all seed words longer than 4 letters are excluded, right? 
 I appreciate your efforts🙏🏽
