About "romance" in BIP39
- "romance" has 7 letters, but the first three, "rom", already identify it, because "ro" also begins 14 other words, among them road, roast, robot and robust. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1675 (index 1674), not #1501. A wallet set to French reads "romance" as 11010001010 instead of 10111011100, and decodes index 1500 as "pleurer".
- "roma" is unique only within the English list: it also begins romantico in the Italian list, romano in the Portuguese list and romaneto in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
