Seed phrase for Trezor 3 safe duplicates words

I purchased two new Trezor 3 Safe directly from Trezor in December. I purchased them about two weeks apart to replace an older Trezor that I have. Last night I finally got around to setting them up. When I set up the first one I had the same word repeated in a row. I thought that was odd. When I set up the second one it had the exact same word repeated and i. The same spots. So to clarify, if the word was diamond then my seventh word and eighth word on each seed phrase was diamond. Thoughts?

Hi @TWD yes, the repetition of the word academic as the 3rd and 4th word is an expected behavior when creating a 20-word multi-share backup, and it in no way compromises the security of your backup. It’s actually a topic that’s been previously discussed on this forum.
