Yes i know there is know what to lower the permutations but i meant to say is thera a way to calculate them faster? I have already tried btc recover but it would take a month the do everything needed to get the right seed. And btc recover does not support more than 24 words in the seed.

<p>What should i do if i have 34 words but i only use 24 and they need to be in the right order. I have 6 words guaranteed correct and in the right order so that takes away 6 but then i still have the rest to get in the right order. I am pretty sure too that this will take 30 million years so im hoping someone has a faster way.</p>

It would take much longer than "months" even if there were pre-built tools available for your specific scenario. Probably centuries will not be enough.

There's no way to reduce the number of permutations of 18 words chosen from 28 (thare are around 84019054401376174080000 of them).

I believe there are tools that can automatically check word permutations for seed-phrases if you have sufficient other data. I would look at btcrecover and similar tools.

Even so, I suspect you may be better off trying to work out what system (of obfuscation?) was used to prepare the list of 34 words.
