## About "distance" in BIP39

- "distance" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"dist"**, already identify it, because **"dis"** also begins 7 other words, among them [disagree](/bip39-word/disagree/), [discover](/bip39-word/discover/), [disease](/bip39-word/disease/) and [dish](/bip39-word/dish/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #574 (index 573), not #510\. A wallet set to French reads "distance" as **01000111101** instead of **00111111101**, and decodes index 509 as "décider".
- **"dist"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins distanza in the [Italian list](/italian/) and distante in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
