## About "toss" in BIP39

- "toss" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"tos"**, already identify it, because **"to"** also begins 27 other words, among them [toast](/bip39-word/toast/), [tobacco](/bip39-word/tobacco/), [today](/bip39-word/today/) and [toddler](/bip39-word/toddler/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"toss"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins tossire in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
