That's not possible because the words aren't interconnected and because that would be a security flaw

There's no way to use the 13th checksum word to reverse engineer the 1st word?

You need the full seed. You either remember the first word or keep trying with words from the dictionary.

Long story, but I need to restore an Electrum wallet (version 2.x). I have the seed, except the first word which got ripped off a legal pad.

So with 12 of the 13 seed words, what can I do to restore the wallet? I've tried to look at the word list and test possible 1st seed words, but haven't had any luck. Is there another way to skin this?

Any ideas / help would be very much appreciated. Hoping this isn't a costly mistake.
