About "future" in BIP39
- "future" has 6 letters, but the first three, "fut", already identify it, because "fu" also begins fuel, fun, funny, furnace and fury. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "futu" is unique only within the English list: it also begins futur in the French list and futuro in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
