## About "icon" in BIP39

- "icon" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"ico"**, already identify it, because **"ic"** also begins [ice](/bip39-word/ice/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"icon"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins icono in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and icona in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
