## About "option" in BIP39

- "option" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"opt"**, already identify it, because **"op"** also begins [open](/bip39-word/open/), [opera](/bip39-word/opera/), [opinion](/bip39-word/opinion/) and [oppose](/bip39-word/oppose/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"opti"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins optique in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
