# Generate a Recovery Phrase With a D8 Die

This method uses an eight-sided die. Each roll supplies three bits, so four rolls create 12 bits and you retain the first 11\. Repeat for 12 or 24 words, then follow the [final-word procedure](https://help.blockstream.com/generate-recovery-phrase-offline).

Roll the die four times for each word and use this conversion table:

| Result | Bits |
| ------ | ---- |
| 1      | 000  |
| 2      | 001  |
| 3      | 010  |
| 4      | 011  |
| 5      | 100  |
| 6      | 101  |
| 7      | 110  |
| 8      | 111  |

Read the accumulated bits from left to right, discard the final bit to leave 11 bits, and use the [binary words table](https://help.blockstream.com/generate-recovery-phrase-offline-binary-table) to find the BIP-39 word.
