## About "differ" in BIP39

- "differ" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"dif"**, already identify it, because **"di"** also begins 26 other words, among them [diagram](/bip39-word/diagram/), [dial](/bip39-word/dial/), [diamond](/bip39-word/diamond/) and [diary](/bip39-word/diary/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"diff"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins différer in the [French list](/french/) and diffuso in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
