About "federal" in BIP39
- "federal" has 7 letters, but the first three, "fed", already identify it, because "fe" also begins 11 other words, among them feature, february, fee and feed. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "fede" is unique only within the English list: it also begins fede in the Italian list and federace in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "federal" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #22 (word 5 of 12). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
