There are 2048 possible words that comprise your seed phrase and each of these corresponds to a number in the BIP39 list. Reminder that it’s possible to convert the phrase to numbers for seed storage.

It adds an extra layer of complexity but it may be more appropriate for your uses. I’ve made up 6 words of a seed phrase here:

1. Scene
2. Warrior
3. Breeze
4. Recycle
5. Rose
6. Able

Another option might be to express the words with their corresponding number in the BIP39 word list:

1. 1541
2. 1979
3. 221
4. 1440
5. 1505
6. 3

As numbers, these are more stealthy, compact and might be more suitable for “Hiding in plain sight” depending on your needs, for example: 1.1541.2.1979.3.221.4.1440.5.1505.6.3 etc (up to the 12 word seed phrase). The numbers could be split and dispersed any way you choose. Of course, the caveat is that with any system like this, increased complexity means increased points of failure. Goes without saying that this plan collapses if you inscribe a number wrong or introduce another self-cipher on top of the BIP39 numbers then forget what that was, for example.

As always in crypto self-custody, you do you and remember there’s no right and wrong, just potentially catastrophic outcomes if you mess up :)
