Original Note:
While combining words from the BIP39 wordlist in the correct orders would give access to bitcoin owned by others, not all bitcoin wallets are generated using BIP39. Also, many BIP39 wallets employ an extra word defined by the wallet owner, which is not in the wordlist. https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/8712301763737-What-is-a-BIP39-passphrase- https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Seed_phrase
