- "hour" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"hou"**, 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.
- "hour" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #21 (word 2 of 24).
