"I got signed out of one of my Coinbase wallets & somehow only wrote 11/12 words"
The message I got from some X follower, the start of this evening.

Worked with my tests, didn't work with his 11 words. 

Why?
1/2 🧵

Hahaha thanks man.
I was honestly losing hope when I did the calculations of checking multiple words 🤣🤣

Hope @coinbasewallet fixes their mnemonic phrase verification process because I'm sure he's not the only one.

He did give me a reward 10+ x above expectations tho, so that was another epic win! Haha
