## About "error" in BIP39

- "error" has 5 letters, but the first three, **"err"**, already identify it, because **"er"** also begins [era](/bip39-word/era/), [erase](/bip39-word/erase/), [erode](/bip39-word/erode/), [erosion](/bip39-word/erosion/) and [erupt](/bip39-word/erupt/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "error" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #22 (word 4 of 12). 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.
