--- title: "BIP39 Words Starting with M — 105 Mnemonic Seed Phrase Words" url: "https://bip39-phrase.com/bip39-words/m/" language: "en" updated: "2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00" --- # BIP39 Words Starting with M (105 words) The 105 BIP39 words that start with M run from #1069 [machine](/bip39-word/machine/) to #1173 [myth](/bip39-word/myth/) in the English wordlist: indexes 1068 to 1172, or **10000101100** to **10010010100** in binary. That is 5.1% of the 2048 words, the 10th-largest of the 25 letter groups. Word length goes from 3 letters ([mad](/bip39-word/mad/), [man](/bip39-word/man/) and 2 more) to 8 ([marriage](/bip39-word/marriage/), [material](/bip39-word/material/) and 6 more). 30 three-letter beginnings are shared by two or more words; the largest, with 6 words each, are **"man"** and **"mar"**. The 88 words in these groups need their first four letters to be told apart, while 17 are identified by the first three. The short words [man](/bip39-word/man/), [mix](/bip39-word/mix/) and [mom](/bip39-word/mom/) also begin longer ones, so a four-letter backup keeps them whole. 38 of the 105 words have look-alikes one letter away, such as [mad](/bip39-word/mad/) and [maid](/bip39-word/maid/). Read aloud, 61 pairs differ by a single sound, for example [machine](/bip39-word/machine/) and [marine](/bip39-word/marine/). Six spellings are shared with the [French BIP39 list](/french/), at different indexes: [machine](/bip39-word/machine/), [million](/bip39-word/million/), [minute](/bip39-word/minute/) and 3 more. Eleven of the words appear in the official BIP39 test vectors, among them [machine](/bip39-word/machine/) and [make](/bip39-word/make/). ## All 105 BIP39 words starting with M | # | Word | Binary |
