Also, I know the address holding the funds. Any way a bot can help to crack the wallet faster?

If it's 12 words and you know the exact places you can just use some phrases wordlist to find the 3 other ones. But it may still take a while or forever because you'd have to get lucky with all 3 of them at once in order to detect success (generate a wallet matching the address you have). You would need to generate your address from mnemonic phrase instead of like my script does from a random hex string
