## About "obvious" in BIP39

- "obvious" has 7 letters, but the first three, **"obv"**, already identify it, because **"ob"** also begins [obey](/bip39-word/obey/), [object](/bip39-word/object/), [oblige](/bip39-word/oblige/), [obscure](/bip39-word/obscure/), [observe](/bip39-word/observe/) and [obtain](/bip39-word/obtain/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"obvi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins obvio in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and obvinit in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
