## About "digital" in BIP39

- "digital" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"digi"**, already identify it, because **"dig"** also begins [dignity](/bip39-word/dignity/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #563 (index 562), not #496\. A wallet set to French reads "digital" as **01000110010** instead of **00111101111**, and decodes index 495 as "cynique".
- **"digi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins digitale in the [Italian list](/italian/) and digitar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "digital" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #23 (word 11 of 18). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
