## About "business" in BIP39

- "business" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"busi"**, already identify it, because **"bus"** also begins [bus](/bip39-word/bus/) and [busy](/bip39-word/busy/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [bus](/bip39-word/bus/). Write "business" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
