# BIP39 Words Starting with G (76 words)

The 76 BIP39 words that start with G run from #758 [gadget](/bip39-word/gadget/) to #833 [gym](/bip39-word/gym/) in the English wordlist: indexes 757 to 832, or **01011110101** to **01101000000** in binary. That is 3.7% of the 2048 words, the 12th-largest of the 25 letter groups. Word length goes from 3 letters ([gap](/bip39-word/gap/), [gas](/bip39-word/gas/), [gun](/bip39-word/gun/) and 1 more) to 7 ([gallery](/bip39-word/gallery/), [garbage](/bip39-word/garbage/), [garment](/bip39-word/garment/) and 9 more).

16 three-letter beginnings are shared by two or more words; the largest is **"gra"**, with 7 words. The 51 words in these groups need their first four letters to be told apart, while 23 are identified by the first three, and 2 ([ghost](/bip39-word/ghost/) and [gym](/bip39-word/gym/)) by the first two. The short word [gas](/bip39-word/gas/) also begins longer ones, so a four-letter backup keeps it whole.

38 of the 76 words have look-alikes one letter away, such as [gain](/bip39-word/gain/) and [grain](/bip39-word/grain/) or [game](/bip39-word/game/) and [gate](/bip39-word/gate/); all pairs are listed below. Read aloud, 71 pairs differ by a single sound, for example [gain](/bip39-word/gain/) and [game](/bip39-word/game/) or [gate](/bip39-word/gate/). Two spellings are shared with the [French BIP39 list](/french/), at different indexes: [globe](/bip39-word/globe/) and [guide](/bip39-word/guide/). Ten of the words appear in the official BIP39 test vectors, among them [gate](/bip39-word/gate/), [ghost](/bip39-word/ghost/) and [glass](/bip39-word/glass/).
