## 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](/bip39-word/feature/), [february](/bip39-word/february/), [fee](/bip39-word/fee/) and [feed](/bip39-word/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](/italian/) and federace in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "federal" 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 5 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.
