## About "scene" in BIP39

- "scene" has 5 letters, but the first three, **"sce"**, already identify it, because **"sc"** also begins 14 other words, among them [scale](/bip39-word/scale/), [scan](/bip39-word/scan/), [scare](/bip39-word/scare/) and [scatter](/bip39-word/scatter/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"scen"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins scenico in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
