Does something happen when you enter wrong seed? If no, you can find that word with a brute force attack. It will take maximum 1 day to find it (if your system isn't really bad).

The word list has only 2048 possible words to try.

Simply try them all in order.

If it takes you 30 seconds for each attempt, you can try all 2048 words in less than 18 hours.

Assuming that you are using English words, I think this is the word list you need to use:

Yes. English. BIP44 is Ledger Nano S . Hmmm. 2048 words. Not 18 hours. 18 years I need  Grin  Then I'm already in the graveyard
At the ledger you have to enter everything by hand
Pin 2 x  and 24 words with 2 mini buttons . My fingers are already hurt .

edit:  The Bitcoin address of the ledger I have .

If you have a bitcoin address (preferably the first one generated) for that seed... a simple python script would probably find the correct seed in less time that it took to write your post. Wink

PM me if you like...

Wallet address is also available .
There must be something to be done
Is not much BTC. But for the little  daughter. But she does not know  Grin 
Should later become a surprise with 18

I don't think that there is any easy solution for this, other than to contact the Ledger Wallet guys and see whether they can help. If that doesn't work, then you can try the Services section here and hire someone who can hack the wallet. But I have to warn you that the hacking services doesn't come cheap. It is going to cost you anywhere from $100 to $500.

Just so everyone knows... I have already successfully recovered the seed for the OP and helped them retrieve their coins.  Cool

It would appear that the reason for the OP missing a seed word was likely due to the fact that the same word appeared twice in a row in the seed. ie. "one two three four five six seven seven eight nine ten eleven" Shocked

So, my theory is that the OP just thought they hadn't clicked "next" to display the next word properly... not realising that the Nano S was simply displaying the same word a second time... and then they didn't realise they had only written down 23 words instead of 24.

But, at the of the day, a happy result Wink
