<p>It's an armory backup seed. See <a href="https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/</a>. It's a wallet that requires bitcoin core full node so you'll need that as well.</p>

<p>I have a seed from a few years ago that looks like this:</p>
<p><strong>this is not the actual seed, but it's random letters just like this:</strong></p>

This sounds like a job for Luke Childs' [BIP39 recovery tool](https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/6219), which has now been merged into Electrum. It scans common derivation paths for common seed configurations, in search for previously used addresses and balance.

You can run it offline on your own machine (as you should!), just ensure that the Electrum wallet you download is not compromised.

It's an armory backup seed. See <https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/>. It's a wallet that requires bitcoin core full node so you'll need that as well.
