# Why does it say a word isn't one of the recovery words?

Recovery kits only use words from a fixed list. The word in that position isn't on the list, so it's almost certainly a typo — a missing letter, an extra space, or autocorrect changing it.

Compare that numbered word with your kit and retype it. Once all 24 words are recognised, Storage Studio checks them together when you reconnect.
