--- title: "BIP39 Words Starting with E — 100 Mnemonic Seed Phrase Words" url: "https://bip39-phrase.com/bip39-words/e/" language: "en" updated: "2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00" --- # BIP39 Words Starting with E (100 words) The 100 BIP39 words that start with E run from #552 [eager](/bip39-word/eager/) to #651 [eyebrow](/bip39-word/eyebrow/) in the English wordlist: indexes 551 to 650, or **01000100111** to **01010001010** in binary. That is 4.9% of the 2048 words, the 11th-largest of the 25 letter groups. Word length goes from 3 letters ([egg](/bip39-word/egg/), [end](/bip39-word/end/) and 2 more) to 8 ([electric](/bip39-word/electric/), [elephant](/bip39-word/elephant/) and 5 more). 27 three-letter beginnings are shared by two or more words; the largest is **"exp"**, with 6 words. The 71 words in these groups need their first four letters to be told apart, while 26 are identified by the first three, and 3 ([effort](/bip39-word/effort/), [egg](/bip39-word/egg/) and [episode](/bip39-word/episode/)) by the first two. The short words [end](/bip39-word/end/), [era](/bip39-word/era/) and [eye](/bip39-word/eye/) also begin longer ones, so a four-letter backup keeps them whole. 15 of the 100 words have look-alikes one letter away, such as [east](/bip39-word/east/) and [easy](/bip39-word/easy/). Read aloud, 47 pairs differ by a single sound, for example [eager](/bip39-word/eager/) and [eagle](/bip39-word/eagle/). Four spellings are shared with the [French BIP39 list](/french/), at different indexes: [effort](/bip39-word/effort/), [essence](/bip39-word/essence/), [exact](/bip39-word/exact/) and 1 more. Ten of the words appear in the official BIP39 test vectors, among them [ecology](/bip39-word/ecology/) and [economy](/bip39-word/economy/). ## All 100 BIP39 words starting with E | # | Word | Binary |
