## About "hazard" in BIP39

- "hazard" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"haz"**, already identify it, because **"ha"** also begins 14 other words, among them [habit](/bip39-word/habit/), [hair](/bip39-word/hair/), [half](/bip39-word/half/) and [hammer](/bip39-word/hammer/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"haza"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins hazaña in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
