Changing the number of seed words needed to run the program.

[RocketSloth]

This script runs like a champ and I would recommend it to anyone needing help recovering their wallet.
Is there any way we can make an option for multiple words missing?
I know its a lot to ask and you have my contact info if I can help out in anyway!

Hey Rocket, here's what looking for only 10 or 22 words looks like. The script will run a magnitude slower for each additional missing word, and even more so because the word ordering is not asked nor handled in the script. Ideally, a pull-request for an optional amount of words includes a progress bar, and also the ability to specify when a missing word ordering is known.

I am going to keep this issue open until the problem is resolved, thank you for opening this issue and for the kind words.
