Entropy

Check the Dice Math

Dice, coins or a shuffled deck — this shows you the words those events should have produced, and whether your device agrees. Experimental, and meant for checking rather than for making a wallet you intend to keep.

Entropy Workshop

Enter your dice rolls, coin flips or drawn cards and see the recovery words and first addresses they convert to — then compare that against what your device showed you. If the two disagree, your device uses a different conversion, which is common and worth knowing before you trust a column of rolls as a backup.

Enter a test sequence, not the rolls behind a wallet you use. Roll the dice explains the procedure and the rules that matter more than the tool does.
