## About "island" in BIP39

- "island" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"isl"**, already identify it, because **"is"** also begins [isolate](/bip39-word/isolate/) and [issue](/bip39-word/issue/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"isla"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins isla in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
