## 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](/bip39-word/road/), [roast](/bip39-word/roast/), [robot](/bip39-word/robot/) and [robust](/bip39-word/robust/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), 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](/italian/), romano in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and romaneto in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
