Four to five characters is probably enough for their threat model though?
The only way I can think of that somebody could steal only the first few characters of your security answer is by looking over your shoulder at a very unfortunate time. That seems unlikely, and most of the questions they use are predictable from the first few characters when answered genuinely anyway (surnames, car names, streets and towns).
