## About "runway" in BIP39

- "runway" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"runw"**, already identify it, because **"run"** also begins [run](/bip39-word/run/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [run](/bip39-word/run/). Write "runway" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
