About "festival" in BIP39
- "festival" has 8 letters, but the first three, "fes", already identify it, because "fe" also begins 11 other words, among them feature, february, federal and fee. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #813 (index 812), not #682. A wallet set to French reads "festival" as 01100101100 instead of 01010101001, and decodes index 681 as "ennuyeux".
- "fest" is unique only within the English list: it also begins festín in the Spanish list, festivo in the Italian list and festejar in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
