## About "enforce" in BIP39

- "enforce" has 7 letters, but the first three, **"enf"**, already identify it, because **"en"** also begins 20 other words, among them [enable](/bip39-word/enable/), [enact](/bip39-word/enact/), [end](/bip39-word/end/) and [endless](/bip39-word/endless/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"enfo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins enfouir in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
