## About "science" in BIP39

- "science" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"scie"**, already identify it, because **"sci"** also begins [scissors](/bip39-word/scissors/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1728 (index 1727), not #1544\. A wallet set to French reads "science" as **11010111111** instead of **11000000111**, and decodes index 1543 as "présence".
- **"scie"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins scienza in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
