What the BIP39 Word List Is

The BIP39 word list is the dictionary that turns a wallet's random number into words. BIP39, assigned on September 10, 2013, splits the random data plus a checksum into 11-bit pieces; each piece is a number from 0 to 2047, and that number picks one word from the list.1 Eleven bits give exactly 2,048 possible values, which is why the list has 2,048 words.

The English list lives in the Bitcoin repository as english.txt, one word per line in alphabetical order. The list never changes. A wallet made today and a wallet made years ago read the same words the same way, which is what lets a seed phrase move between wallet brands.

How the 2,048 BIP39 Words Were Chosen

The 2,048 BIP39 words were chosen by three rules that the spec states. First, typing the first four letters of a word is enough to identify it. Second, similar pairs such as build and built, or woman and women, were left out because they are easy to confuse. Third, the list is sorted, so software can look words up quickly.

Counting the file itself shows the result: every word is 3 to 8 letters long, no two words share the same first four letters, and the letter s starts the most words, 250 of them. Short, distinct words make a phrase easier to write down and harder to misread.2

How BIP39 Words Map to Numbers

BIP39 words map to numbers by their position in the list, counting from zero. abandon is number 0, the next word is number 1, and zoo is number 2047. A wallet reading a phrase turns each word back into its 11-bit number, joins the bits, and checks the checksum at the end.

That is why order matters as much as spelling. The same 12 words in a different order make a different number and a different wallet, and the checksum will usually flag the mix-up. For 12 words, 128 bits are random and 4 bits are checksum; for 24 words, 256 bits are random and 8 bits are checksum.

BIP39 Word Lists in Other Languages

BIP39 word lists exist in other languages too: the repository publishes 10 lists in all, for English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, Italian, Czech and Portuguese, on its wordlists page.

The spec itself strongly discourages the non-English lists, because most BIP39 wallets support only English. It also notes a trap: translating a phrase into another language's words creates a completely different seed, so the translated words would open an empty wallet. A phrase is tied to the list it was made from.

How to Use the BIP39 Word List Safely

Use the BIP39 word list to read, not to type. Its job here is to let you check by eye that a word on your backup is a real list word, for example when handwriting is unclear: find the first four letters and you have the word.

  • Never type your phrase into this page or any other site, in full or one word at a time.
  • Never paste the words into a search box, a chat or a note to check them.
  • If a word on your backup is not on the list, compare the first four letters; a misspelling is likelier than a missing word.

Any site that asks you to enter your words to "validate" them is a scam. ethereum.org says no legitimate service, support agent, or website will ever ask for a recovery phrase.4 The wallet drainer page shows how such sites empty wallets, and the wallets hub links the rest of the key and address guides.

Questions People Ask About BIP39 word list

These are the questions people ask next about BIP39 word list.

How many words are in the BIP39 word list?

The BIP39 word list has 2,048 words. Each word stands for an 11-bit number from 0 to 2047, and 11 bits allow exactly 2,048 values. The English list runs from abandon to zoo.

Can a seed phrase use words that are not on the BIP39 list?

A standard seed phrase cannot use words outside the BIP39 list, because wallets turn each word into its number on the list. A word that is not on the list usually means a spelling mistake on the backup.

Why does a BIP39 word only need four letters?

A BIP39 word only needs four letters because the list was built so that no two words share the same first four letters. The spec says four typed letters are enough to identify any word unambiguously.

Is the BIP39 word list the same in every wallet?

The BIP39 word list is the same in every wallet that follows BIP39, which is why a phrase from one brand can restore in another. Before restoring, check that both wallets say they support BIP39 phrases.
