## About "leader" in BIP39

- "leader" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"lead"**, already identify it, because **"lea"** also begins [leaf](/bip39-word/leaf/), [learn](/bip39-word/learn/) and [leave](/bip39-word/leave/).
- "leader" 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 5 of 24). 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.
