## About "apology" in BIP39

- "apology" has 7 letters, but the first three, **"apo"**, already identify it, because **"ap"** also begins [apart](/bip39-word/apart/), [appear](/bip39-word/appear/), [apple](/bip39-word/apple/), [approve](/bip39-word/approve/) and [april](/bip39-word/april/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"apol"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins apologie in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
