About "badge" in BIP39
- "badge" has 5 letters, but the first three, "bad", already identify it, because "ba" also begins 18 other words, among them baby, bachelor, bacon and bag. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #191 (index 190), not #140. A wallet set to French reads "badge" as 00010111110 instead of 00010001011, and decodes index 139 as "armoire".
