About "chronic" in BIP39
- "chronic" has 7 letters, but the first three, "chr", already identify it, because "ch" also begins 24 other words, among them chair, chalk, champion and change. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "chro" is unique only within the English list: it also begins chrome in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
