About "congress" in BIP39
- "congress" has 8 letters, but the first four, "cong", already identify it, because "con" also begins 7 other words, among them concert, conduct, confirm and connect.
- "cong" is unique only within the English list: it also begins congeler in the French list, conga in the Spanish list, congelare in the Italian list and congelar in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "congress" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #23 (words 9 and 17 of 18). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
