--- title: "BIP39 Words Starting with V — 46 Mnemonic Seed Phrase Words" url: "https://bip39-phrase.com/bip39-words/v/" language: "en" updated: "2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00" --- # BIP39 Words Starting with V (46 words) The 46 BIP39 words that start with V run from #1924 [vacant](/bip39-word/vacant/) to #1969 [voyage](/bip39-word/voyage/) in the English wordlist: indexes 1923 to 1968, or **11110000011** to **11110110000** in binary, so all of them begin with the bits 11110\. That is 2.2% of the 2048 words, the 18th-largest of the 25 letter groups. Word length goes from 3 letters ([van](/bip39-word/van/)) to 7 ([various](/bip39-word/various/), [vehicle](/bip39-word/vehicle/), [venture](/bip39-word/venture/) and 9 more). Ten three-letter beginnings are shared by two or more words; the largest is **"ver"**, with 4 words. The 25 words in these groups need their first four letters to be told apart, while 21 are identified by the first three. The short word [van](/bip39-word/van/) also begins longer ones, so a four-letter backup keeps it whole. Nine of the 46 words have look-alikes one letter away, such as [verb](/bip39-word/verb/) and [very](/bip39-word/very/) or [valley](/bip39-word/valley/) and [alley](/bip39-word/alley/); all pairs are listed below. Read aloud, 14 pairs differ by a single sound, for example [valley](/bip39-word/valley/) and [valve](/bip39-word/valve/) or [rally](/bip39-word/rally/). Seven spellings are shared with the [French BIP39 list](/french/), at different indexes: [vague](/bip39-word/vague/), [valve](/bip39-word/valve/), [village](/bip39-word/village/), [virus](/bip39-word/virus/) and 3 more. Five of the words appear in the official BIP39 test vectors, among them [valve](/bip39-word/valve/), [vessel](/bip39-word/vessel/) and [void](/bip39-word/void/). ## All 46 BIP39 words starting with V | # | Word | Binary | IPA | Prefix | | ---- | ------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------ | ------ | | 1924 | [vacant](/bip39-word/vacant/) | 11110000011 | /ˈveɪkᵊnt/ | vaca | | 1925 | [vacuum](/bip39-word/vacuum/) | 11110000100 | /ˈvækjʊəm/ | vacu | | 1926 | [vague](/bip39-word/vague/) | 11110000101 | /veɪɡ/ | vagu | | 1927 | [valid](/bip39-word/valid/) | 11110000110 | /ˈvælɪd/ | vali | | 1928 | [valley](/bip39-word/valley/) | 11110000111 | /ˈvæli/ | vall | | 1929 | [valve](/bip39-word/valve/) | 11110001000 | /vælv/ | valv | | 1930 | [van](/bip39-word/van/) | 11110001001 | /væn/ | van | | 1931 | [vanish](/bip39-word/vanish/) | 11110001010 | /ˈvænɪʃ/ | vani | | 1932 | [vapor](/bip39-word/vapor/) | 11110001011 | /ˈveɪpə/ | vapo | | 1933 | [various](/bip39-word/various/) | 11110001100 | /ˈveərɪəs/ | vari | | 1934 | [vast](/bip39-word/vast/) | 11110001101 | /vɑːst/ | vast | | 1935 | [vault](/bip39-word/vault/) | 11110001110 | /vɔːlt/ | vaul | | 1936 | [vehicle](/bip39-word/vehicle/) | 11110001111 | /ˈviːɪkl/ | vehi | | 1937 | [velvet](/bip39-word/velvet/) | 11110010000 | /ˈvɛlvɪt/ | velv | | 1938 | [vendor](/bip39-word/vendor/) | 11110010001 | /ˈvɛndɔː/ | vend | | 1939 | [venture](/bip39-word/venture/) | 11110010010 | /ˈvɛnʧə/ | vent | | 1940 | [venue](/bip39-word/venue/) | 11110010011 | /ˈvɛnjuː/ | venu | | 1941 | [verb](/bip39-word/verb/) | 11110010100 | /vɜːb/ | verb | | 1942 | [verify](/bip39-word/verify/) | 11110010101 | /ˈvɛrɪfaɪ/ | veri | | 1943 | [version](/bip39-word/version/) | 11110010110 | /ˈvɜːʃən/ | vers | | 1944 | [very](/bip39-word/very/) | 11110010111 | /ˈvɛri/ | very | | 1945 | [vessel](/bip39-word/vessel/) | 11110011000 | /ˈvɛsl/ | vess | | 1946 | [veteran](/bip39-word/veteran/) | 11110011001 | /ˈvɛtərən/ | vete | | 1947 | [viable](/bip39-word/viable/) | 11110011010 | /ˈvaɪəbᵊl/ | viab | | 1948 | [vibrant](/bip39-word/vibrant/) | 11110011011 | /ˈvaɪbrᵊnt/ | vibr | | 1949 | [vicious](/bip39-word/vicious/) | 11110011100 | /ˈvɪʃəs/ | vici | | 1950 | [victory](/bip39-word/victory/) | 11110011101 | /ˈvɪktəri/ | vict | | 1951 | [video](/bip39-word/video/) | 11110011110 | /ˈvɪdɪəʊ/ | vide | | 1952 | [view](/bip39-word/view/) | 11110011111 | /vjuː/ | view | | 1953 | [village](/bip39-word/village/) | 11110100000 | /ˈvɪlɪʤ/ | vill | | 1954 | [vintage](/bip39-word/vintage/) | 11110100001 | /ˈvɪntɪʤ/ | vint | | 1955 | [violin](/bip39-word/violin/) | 11110100010 | /ˌvaɪəˈlɪn/ | viol | | 1956 | [virtual](/bip39-word/virtual/) | 11110100011 | /ˈvɜːtjʊəl/ | virt | | 1957 | [virus](/bip39-word/virus/) | 11110100100 | /ˈvaɪərəs/ | viru | | 1958 | [visa](/bip39-word/visa/) | 11110100101 | /ˈviːzə/ | visa | | 1959 | [visit](/bip39-word/visit/) | 11110100110 | /ˈvɪzɪt/ | visi | | 1960 | [visual](/bip39-word/visual/) | 11110100111 | /ˈvɪzjʊəl/ | visu | | 1961 | [vital](/bip39-word/vital/) | 11110101000 | /ˈvaɪtl/ | vita | | 1962 | [vivid](/bip39-word/vivid/) | 11110101001 | /ˈvɪvɪd/ | vivi | | 1963 | [vocal](/bip39-word/vocal/) | 11110101010 | /ˈvəʊkəl/ | voca | | 1964 | [voice](/bip39-word/voice/) | 11110101011 | /vɔɪs/ | voic | | 1965 | [void](/bip39-word/void/) | 11110101100 | /vɔɪd/ | void | | 1966 | [volcano](/bip39-word/volcano/) | 11110101101 | /vɒlˈkeɪnəʊ/ | volc | | 1967 | [volume](/bip39-word/volume/) | 11110101110 | /ˈvɒljʊm/ | volu | | 1968 | [vote](/bip39-word/vote/) | 11110101111 | /vəʊt/ | vote | | 1969 | [voyage](/bip39-word/voyage/) | 11110110000 | /ˈvɔɪɪʤ/ | voya | ## Similar-looking words to check These 10 pairs differ by one letter, with at least one word starting with V.
