That’s pretty much it 🙂

First you plug in what you have in seed\_str.  
Then you change the `0` in `getPossibleWord(word_list, seed_str, 0)` to the position of the word you are not sure about, from 0 - 11. So in @ScotterMonkey’s case, 3rd word, so that would be `2`

When you run the script you will get all the words that could fit in that gap and still pass the checksum.
