## About "mechanic" in BIP39

- "mechanic" has 8 letters, but the first three, **"mec"**, already identify it, because **"me"** also begins 20 other words, among them [meadow](/bip39-word/meadow/), [mean](/bip39-word/mean/), [measure](/bip39-word/measure/) and [meat](/bip39-word/meat/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"mech"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins mecha in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and mechanik in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
