I'm very confused about how this m/0/ form is confirmed, my mnermonic is base in bip-39, try to find my missing words in Decred( a cryptocurrency of Bitcoin class), which has 33 words.Thank you.

FinderOuter is still a bitcoin-only recovery tool that doesn't support altcoins yet.

From what I gather from this altcoin's doc, the process is completely different from bitcoin and BIP-39. It uses a fixed 32 byte entropy and encodes each byte to a word using PGP word list. The addresses are also using Blake256 hash algorithm.
To find its missing words it requires an entirely different option with different code.
