--- title: "BIP39 Words Starting with R — 108 Mnemonic Seed Phrase Words" url: "https://bip39-phrase.com/bip39-words/r/" language: "en" updated: "2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00" --- # BIP39 Words Starting with R (108 words) The 108 BIP39 words that start with R run from #1410 [rabbit](/bip39-word/rabbit/) to #1517 [rural](/bip39-word/rural/) in the English wordlist: indexes 1409 to 1516, or **10110000001** to **10111101100** in binary. That is 5.3% of the 2048 words, the 8th-largest of the 25 letter groups. Word length goes from 3 letters ([raw](/bip39-word/raw/), [rib](/bip39-word/rib/) and 2 more) to 8 ([remember](/bip39-word/remember/), [resemble](/bip39-word/resemble/) and 2 more). 27 three-letter beginnings are shared by two or more words; the largest is **"res"**, with 6 words. The 77 words in these groups need their first four letters to be told apart, while 30 are identified by the first three, and one ([rhythm](/bip39-word/rhythm/)) by the first two. The short words [rib](/bip39-word/rib/) and [run](/bip39-word/run/) also begin longer ones, so a four-letter backup keeps them whole. 32 of the 108 words have look-alikes one letter away, such as [race](/bip39-word/race/) and [rack](/bip39-word/rack/). Two words sound identical: [right](/bip39-word/right/) and [write](/bip39-word/write/) (/raɪt/). Read aloud, 107 pairs differ by a single sound, for example [race](/bip39-word/race/) and [rail](/bip39-word/rail/). Three spellings are shared with the [French BIP39 list](/french/), at different indexes: [relief](/bip39-word/relief/), [rival](/bip39-word/rival/) and [romance](/bip39-word/romance/). Seven of the words appear in the official BIP39 test vectors, among them [rapid](/bip39-word/rapid/) and [raw](/bip39-word/raw/). ## All 108 BIP39 words starting with R | # | Word | Binary | IPA |
