Is it possible to find out the wallet address by the private key?

Question

blockchain

Hello!

I saw how the guys are now trying to pick up the "lost" cue balls through a search of phrases. I read a little, the method is not new and extremely inefficient. But it just became interesting how it works, I think it will help to better understand bitcoin and blockchain in general.

I ran into several questions:

Let for example the address (1838CGDTE2gwRM1g7KFCPnd4in8BTPJvVJ) and private (L3HJ94RHq3F9XhBkUJRwWXVsFw4feHofLiYqRjratKi5uTzvr828).

1) On all the wallets that I have seen, private is requested as 12 or 24 English words. Is it necessarily so? Or can you just make a random string of English characters and numbers and use it? Does it have to be this long for all wallets?

2) Can I only brute on the secret string? Can I find out the balance and public address from the secret string? And this data needs this string of characters or those English words?

3) In this case, is it better to brute only the secret string and check the balance on it? Or find a wallet with a balance right away and send a phrase to it?

4) Most importantly, is there any open API for quickly checking this phrase, whether it matches or not. Or is it better to use Bitcoin Core for example, in which case are there instructions maybe for that?

That's all for now, maybe we'll discuss something else with you. Questions can be as stupid as possible, I'm just starting to figure it all out, I hope for your understanding. And thanks in advance for your replies. I'm waiting.

When you already learn math and understand that it is useless to brute. There are answers to all your questions in Google, and you can even find ready-made implementations of brute, in almost all languages, using these implementations you can see the entire process of converting mnemonic words
