About "orange" in BIP39
- "orange" has 6 letters, but the first three, "ora", already identify it, because "or" also begins 8 other words, among them orbit, orchard, order and ordinary. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1388 (index 1387), not #1247. A wallet set to French reads "orange" as 10101101011 instead of 10011011110, and decodes index 1246 as "migrer".
