-But code always starts counting list items from zero. So the index of "tomato" is actually `1824`. The GitHub wordlist and most other resources number the words in a human-friendly manner that starts with `1`. But for SeedQR you'll have to remember to subtract one from any list that starts with `1` to get the correct index number.
