Rules 11 and 12 prevent the selection words that are not different enough. This makes each word more recognizable among others and less error prone. For example: the wordlist contains "atono", then "atomo" is rejected, but "atomico" is good.

4. First 4 letters are unique between all words.
5. No complex verb forms.
6. No plural words.
7. No negative/offensive/sad/bad words.
8. No words already used in other language mnemonic sets.
9. Levenshtein distance between all words is **at most** 0.87 (lower values rejected due to diminishing returns).
