## 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](/bip39-word/feature/), [february](/bip39-word/february/), [federal](/bip39-word/federal/) and [fee](/bip39-word/fee/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), 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](/spanish/), festivo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and festejar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
