## About "join" in BIP39

- "join" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"joi"**, already identify it, because **"jo"** also begins [job](/bip39-word/job/), [joke](/bip39-word/joke/), [journey](/bip39-word/journey/) and [joy](/bip39-word/joy/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"join"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins joindre in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "join" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #16 (word 11 of 12). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
