--- title: "BIP39 Words Starting with H — 64 Mnemonic Seed Phrase Words" url: "https://bip39-phrase.com/bip39-words/h/" language: "en" updated: "2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00" --- # BIP39 Words Starting with H (64 words) The 64 BIP39 words that start with H run from #834 [habit](/bip39-word/habit/) to #897 [hybrid](/bip39-word/hybrid/) in the English wordlist: indexes 833 to 896, or **01101000001** to **01110000000** in binary, so all of them begin with the bits 011\. That is 3.1% of the 2048 words, the 15th-largest of the 25 letter groups. Word length goes from 3 letters ([hat](/bip39-word/hat/), [hen](/bip39-word/hen/), [hip](/bip39-word/hip/) and 1 more) to 8 ([hedgehog](/bip39-word/hedgehog/) and [hospital](/bip39-word/hospital/)). Ten three-letter beginnings are shared by two or more words; the largest, with 4 words each, are **"har"**, **"hea"** and **"hol"**. The 31 words in these groups need their first four letters to be told apart, while 32 are identified by the first three, and one ([hybrid](/bip39-word/hybrid/)) by the first two. 26 of the 64 words have look-alikes one letter away, such as [hand](/bip39-word/hand/) and [hard](/bip39-word/hard/) or [hint](/bip39-word/hint/) and [hunt](/bip39-word/hunt/); all pairs are listed below. Read aloud, 84 pairs differ by a single sound, for example [hair](/bip39-word/hair/) and [high](/bip39-word/high/) or [pear](/bip39-word/pear/). One spelling is shared with the [French BIP39 list](/french/), at a different index: [humble](/bip39-word/humble/). Eight of the words appear in the official BIP39 test vectors, among them [hair](/bip39-word/hair/), [hamster](/bip39-word/hamster/) and [happy](/bip39-word/happy/). ## All 64 BIP39 words starting with H | # | Word | Binary | IPA | Prefix | | --- | --------------------------------- | ----------- | ---------- | ------ | | 834 | [habit](/bip39-word/habit/) | 01101000001 | /ˈhæbɪt/ | habi | | 835 | [hair](/bip39-word/hair/) | 01101000010 | /heə/ | hair | | 836 | [half](/bip39-word/half/) | 01101000011 | /hɑːf/ | half | | 837 | [hammer](/bip39-word/hammer/) | 01101000100 | /ˈhæmə/ | hamm | | 838 | [hamster](/bip39-word/hamster/) | 01101000101 | /ˈhæmstə/ | hams | | 839 | [hand](/bip39-word/hand/) | 01101000110 | /hænd/ | hand | | 840 | [happy](/bip39-word/happy/) | 01101000111 | /ˈhæpi/ | happ | | 841 | [harbor](/bip39-word/harbor/) | 01101001000 | /ˈhɑːbə/ | harb | | 842 | [hard](/bip39-word/hard/) | 01101001001 | /hɑːd/ | hard | | 843 | [harsh](/bip39-word/harsh/) | 01101001010 | /hɑːʃ/ | hars | | 844 | [harvest](/bip39-word/harvest/) | 01101001011 | /ˈhɑːvɪst/ | harv | | 845 | [hat](/bip39-word/hat/) | 01101001100 | /hæt/ | hat | | 846 | [have](/bip39-word/have/) | 01101001101 | /hæv/ | have | | 847 | [hawk](/bip39-word/hawk/) | 01101001110 | /hɔːk/ | hawk | | 848 | [hazard](/bip39-word/hazard/) | 01101001111 | /ˈhæzəd/ | haza | | 849 | [head](/bip39-word/head/) | 01101010000 | /hɛd/ | head | | 850 | [health](/bip39-word/health/) | 01101010001 | /hɛlθ/ | heal | | 851 | [heart](/bip39-word/heart/) | 01101010010 | /hɑːt/ | hear | | 852 | [heavy](/bip39-word/heavy/) | 01101010011 | /ˈhɛvi/ | heav | | 853 | [hedgehog](/bip39-word/hedgehog/) | 01101010100 | /ˈhɛʤhɒɡ/ | hedg | | 854 | [height](/bip39-word/height/) | 01101010101 | /haɪt/ | heig | | 855 | [hello](/bip39-word/hello/) | 01101010110 | /hɛˈləʊ/ | hell | | 856 | [helmet](/bip39-word/helmet/) | 01101010111 | /ˈhɛlmɪt/ | helm | | 857 | [help](/bip39-word/help/) | 01101011000 | /hɛlp/ | help | | 858 | [hen](/bip39-word/hen/) | 01101011001 | /hɛn/ | hen | | 859 | [hero](/bip39-word/hero/) | 01101011010 | /ˈhɪərəʊ/ | hero | | 860 | [hidden](/bip39-word/hidden/) | 01101011011 | /ˈhɪdn/ | hidd | | 861 | [high](/bip39-word/high/) | 01101011100 | /haɪ/ | high | | 862 | [hill](/bip39-word/hill/) | 01101011101 | /hɪl/ | hill | | 863 | [hint](/bip39-word/hint/) | 01101011110 | /hɪnt/ | hint | | 864 | [hip](/bip39-word/hip/) | 01101011111 | /hɪp/ | hip | | 865 | [hire](/bip39-word/hire/) | 01101100000 | /ˈhaɪə/ | hire | | 866 | [history](/bip39-word/history/) | 01101100001 | /ˈhɪstəri/ | hist | | 867 | [hobby](/bip39-word/hobby/) | 01101100010 | /ˈhɒbi/ | hobb | | 868 | [hockey](/bip39-word/hockey/) | 01101100011 | /ˈhɒki/ | hock | | 869 | [hold](/bip39-word/hold/) | 01101100100 | /həʊld/ | hold | | 870 | [hole](/bip39-word/hole/) | 01101100101 | /həʊl/ | hole | | 871 | [holiday](/bip39-word/holiday/) | 01101100110 | /ˈhɒlədeɪ/ | holi | | 872 | [hollow](/bip39-word/hollow/) | 01101100111 | /ˈhɒləʊ/ | holl | | 873 | [home](/bip39-word/home/) | 01101101000 | /həʊm/ | home | | 874 | [honey](/bip39-word/honey/) | 01101101001 | /ˈhʌni/ | hone | | 875 | [hood](/bip39-word/hood/) | 01101101010 | /hʊd/ | hood | | 876 | [hope](/bip39-word/hope/) | 01101101011 | /həʊp/ | hope | | 877 | [horn](/bip39-word/horn/) | 01101101100 | /hɔːn/ | horn | | 878 | [horror](/bip39-word/horror/) | 01101101101 | /ˈhɒrə/ | horr | | 879 | [horse](/bip39-word/horse/) | 01101101110 | /hɔːs/ | hors | | 880 | [hospital](/bip39-word/hospital/) | 01101101111 | /ˈhɒspɪtl/ | hosp | | 881 | [host](/bip39-word/host/) | 01101110000 | /həʊst/ | host | | 882 | [hotel](/bip39-word/hotel/) | 01101110001 | /həʊˈtɛl/ | hote | | 883 | [hour](/bip39-word/hour/) | 01101110010 | /ˈaʊə/ | hour | | 884 | [hover](/bip39-word/hover/) | 01101110011 | /ˈhɒvə/ | hove | | 885 | [hub](/bip39-word/hub/) | 01101110100 | /hʌb/ | hub | | 886 | [huge](/bip39-word/huge/) | 01101110101 | /hjuːʤ/ | huge | | 887 | [human](/bip39-word/human/) | 01101110110 | /ˈhjuːmən/ | huma | | 888 | [humble](/bip39-word/humble/) | 01101110111 | /ˈhʌmbᵊl/ | humb | | 889 | [humor](/bip39-word/humor/) | 01101111000 | /ˈhjuːmə/ | humo | | 890 | [hundred](/bip39-word/hundred/) | 01101111001 | /ˈhʌndrəd/ | hund | | 891 | [hungry](/bip39-word/hungry/) | 01101111010 | /ˈhʌŋgri/ | hung | | 892 | [hunt](/bip39-word/hunt/) | 01101111011 | /hʌnt/ | hunt | | 893 | [hurdle](/bip39-word/hurdle/) | 01101111100 | /ˈhɜːdᵊl/ | hurd | | 894 | [hurry](/bip39-word/hurry/) | 01101111101 | /ˈhʌri/ | hurr | | 895 | [hurt](/bip39-word/hurt/) | 01101111110 | /hɜːt/ | hurt | | 896 | [husband](/bip39-word/husband/) | 01101111111 | /ˈhʌzbənd/ | husb | | 897 | [hybrid](/bip39-word/hybrid/) | 01110000000 | /ˈhaɪbrɪd/ | hybr | ## Similar-looking words to check These 56 pairs differ by one letter, with at least one word starting with H.
