Hi, I had a computer crash and MetaMask extension would not open so I tried to reinstall it using my 12 word seed phrase. I was met with the message โ€œInvalid seed phraseโ€. I had spelt the last word wrong. On correcting the spelling I have received a wallet with a different public key which is has nothing in it and no transaction history. Hopefully someone can help. ---

Hi, thanks for the reply. I believe it is the last word as that is what was spelt wrong but I checked the list of words that can be used in the Github and there is no other word even close to it. I will download the tool then unplug my internet to use it. ---

So I can try any combo and just enter a ? for the word I want to find. Looks promising. Thank you very much. ---
