## About "bomb" in BIP39

- "bomb" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"bom"**, already identify it, because **"bo"** also begins 16 other words, among them [board](/bip39-word/board/), [boat](/bip39-word/boat/), [body](/bip39-word/body/) and [boil](/bip39-word/boil/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"bomb"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins bomba in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and bombeiro in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
