## About "bless" in BIP39

- "bless" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"bles"**, already identify it, because **"ble"** also begins [bleak](/bip39-word/bleak/).
- **"bles"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins blessant in the [French list](/french/) and blesk in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "bless" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #11 (word 24 of 24). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words. As the last word of vector #11, its final 8 bits, **10111101**, are the checksum of the 24-word phrase.
