## 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](/bip39-word/mad/), [magic](/bip39-word/magic/), [magnet](/bip39-word/magnet/) and [maid](/bip39-word/maid/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), 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](/spanish/) and machado in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "machine" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #14 (word 2 of 18). 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.
