I think subconsciously I look to the end to find differences too. So maybe I'd prefer er/let to come last

When I joined my current team, I was surprised when I realized all of my co-workers were using the end of strings to verify their identity, when I was looking at the beginning of them. It was confusing: I'd be reading off random characters, and they'd be reading them aloud at the same time, and we'd all be saying different things.
I've run into this with GUID/UUID strings. Some apps truncate them while appending an ellipses to the end, so that the last bits of characters are not even visible by default. It's a mixed bag to be sure
I feel like if you have to display UUIDs in your app’s UI, you’ve already lost. Copy to clipboard should hopefully be enough.
