around 2018-04-14 I opened an eth wallet, which I am positive was with MetaMask. I have found a file on my computer that contains a 29 word seed phrase. I saved this file and labeled it "Do not delete, eth seed phrase". My issue is that no provider seems to have a 29 word seed phrase.
I've tried everything I can at this point to try and recover the seed phrase by other means like my AppData folder but I cant find anything helpful.
Is there any way I can make use of this seed phrase I saved? Maybe with an older version of MetaMask or some other provider which uses that long of a phrase? Can I convert the longer phrase into a shorter one?
Thanks for the help 🙂

If it is a legit seed phrase you can import it into most of the wallets. The seed phrase standard is called BIP-32. However the amount of seed words - 29 - strikes me odd. Usually you have 12 or 24 words and I have never heard of 29 words one. Maybe you inserted in some fake words?
