About "machine" in BIP39

  • "machine" has 7 letters, but the first three, "mac", already identify it, because "ma" also begins 32 other words, among them mad, magic, magnet and maid. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
  • The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1179 (index 1178), not #1069. A wallet set to French reads "machine" as 10010011010 instead of 10000101100, and decodes index 1068 as "ivoire".
  • "mach" is unique only within the English list: it also begins macho in the Spanish list and machado in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
  • "machine" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #14 (word 2 of 18). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
