Recovery Word List

Every word in a KeepKey recovery phrase comes from one fixed list of 2,048 English words, called the BIP-39 word list. If recovery rejects a word, or your backup has a word you can’t read, find it here.

Never type your recovery words into a website, including this one. This page has no search box on purpose. Look a word up by its first letter. Enter recovery words only in the recovery flow of KeepKey Desktop with your KeepKey connected, using the scrambled cipher shown on the device: Scrambled Recovery Entry.

How to use this list

  1. Go to the first letter of your word. The words below are in alphabetical order.
  2. Compare the first four letters. No two words on the list start with the same four letters, which is why the device can complete a word after three or four letters. If the first four letters of what you wrote match a word here, that is your word.
  3. If your word is not here, it was misspelled or misread. Look for the closest match under the same first letter, then check Words one letter apart. Unclear handwriting is the usual cause: a and o, u and v, n and h, rn and m.
  4. Check the shape of the word. Every word is 3 to 8 lowercase letters, with no capitals, numbers, hyphens or accents.

What the device is telling you

  • Word Not Recognized. The letters you entered do not start any word on this list. Find the correct spelling below, then start recovery again.
  • Incorrect Words Entered. Every word was on the list, but together they are not a valid recovery phrase. The phrase carries a built-in check, so one wrong word or two swapped words fails it. Check the word order first, then compare each word against Words one letter apart.
  • Recovery finished, but the wallet is empty. A wrong phrase can pass the built-in check by chance: about 1 time in 16 for 12 words, 1 in 64 for 18 words, and 1 in 256 for 24 words. The device cannot tell that it is wrong and restores a different, empty wallet. A missing or mistyped passphrase has the same effect: see Hidden Wallets.

More on these messages: If recovery fails.

What this page cannot do

It cannot tell you which word is wrong, and nobody can work that out for you. KeepKey support does not need your recovery words and will never ask for them. If someone asks, it is a scam.
