## About "coyote" in BIP39

- "coyote" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"coy"**, already identify it, because **"co"** also begins 40 other words, among them [coach](/bip39-word/coach/), [coast](/bip39-word/coast/), [coconut](/bip39-word/coconut/) and [code](/bip39-word/code/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #462 (index 461), not #398\. A wallet set to French reads "coyote" as **00111001101** instead of **00110001101**, and decodes index 397 as "circuler".
