25th word stored in an offsite location or in your head.
Yes this is what i do. Store the physical 24 seeds into a physical safe. Then create a paraphrase (25th word) and store it else where. Im ocd and paranoid so I will never lose this. If u dont have that responsibility sense, i dont recc doing cause if u lose 1 of them youre fucked.
Or write an email to someone with the words in. In a story or question about something. Don’t delete the email when they reply. Who’s going to know that contains your 25th word?
Heard of many horror stories of people forgetting the phrase from their head
25th word lost ( if you dont go for the maximum length and have a general idea about what it was)is still recoverable, and just keep it in plaintext everywhere else on paper.
If you keep it alphanumerical, use like 8-10 letters, doable via brute force as well.
