I'm trying to recover my Trust Wallet account. I have all 12 words of my phrase. For 6 of them I strongly believe that I know the right order but the remaining 6 words are completely random. Is there a way I can figure out the order of the remaining 6 words?

Was there a particular reason why you added the tag [trust-wallet]? – Murch Jan 27 '22 at 20:52

yes cause its the passphrase for a trust wallet account – CRAFT Jan 28 '22 at 21:03

I see, that wasn't apparent from the question's previous phrasing. I've added a mention of this and the tag to the question. – Murch Jan 28 '22 at 21:06

There are only 720 (6!) possible ways to order six words, so you could write a script that generates them all and then checks whether there are any transactions associated with any.
As @meshcollider pointed out in a comment, you could then use the 4-bit checksum that mnemonic seeds include to reduce this set of possible combinations even further to about 45 seeds for which you'd need to check the addresses.
