## 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](/bip39-word/chair/), [chalk](/bip39-word/chalk/), [champion](/bip39-word/champion/) and [change](/bip39-word/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](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
