## About "neck" in BIP39

- "neck" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"nec"**, already identify it, because **"ne"** also begins 14 other words, among them [near](/bip39-word/near/), [need](/bip39-word/need/), [negative](/bip39-word/negative/) and [neglect](/bip39-word/neglect/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
