## About "honey" in BIP39

- "honey" has 5 letters, but the first three, **"hon"**, already identify it, because **"ho"** also begins 17 other words, among them [hobby](/bip39-word/hobby/), [hockey](/bip39-word/hockey/), [hold](/bip39-word/hold/) and [hole](/bip39-word/hole/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"hone"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins honesto in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
