About "blind" in BIP39
- "blind" has 5 letters, but the first three, "bli", already identify it, because "bl" also begins 13 other words, among them black, blade, blame and blanket. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "blin" is unique only within the English list: it also begins blinder in the French list and blindado in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
