## About "fortune" in BIP39

- "fortune" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"fort"**, already identify it, because **"for"** also begins [force](/bip39-word/force/), [forest](/bip39-word/forest/), [forget](/bip39-word/forget/), [fork](/bip39-word/fork/), [forum](/bip39-word/forum/) and [forward](/bip39-word/forward/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #855 (index 854), not #733\. A wallet set to French reads "fortune" as **01101010110** instead of **01011011100**, and decodes index 732 as "étaler".
- **"fort"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins fortuna in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), fortezza in the [Italian list](/italian/) and forte in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
