## About "much" in BIP39

- "much" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"muc"**, already identify it, because **"mu"** also begins 9 other words, among them [muffin](/bip39-word/muffin/), [mule](/bip39-word/mule/), [multiply](/bip39-word/multiply/) and [muscle](/bip39-word/muscle/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"much"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins mucho in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
