About "always" in BIP39
- "always" has 6 letters, but the first three, "alw", already identify it, because "al" also begins 14 other words, among them alarm, album, alcohol and alert. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "always" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #7 (word 18 of 18). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words. As the last word of vector #7, its final 6 bits, 111100, are the checksum of the 18-word phrase.
