 If there are 10, 4 letter words and 2, 3 letter words. How come the last 12 word is mother???

What I'm not understanding here?

 They are truncated, you only need the first 4 letters of BIP-39 seed words:)

 Hmm... But still, if I extracted  all the words which have these specified characters as their first 3-4 characters I get 602 words which gives me 3 nonillion combinations (3*10^30) even if we have a clue word for the last word.

I call this #uncypherable with a decent home computer

I wander how others get to such lower number of words?
