## About "access" in BIP39

- "access" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"acce"**, already identify it, because **"acc"** also begins [accident](/bip39-word/accident/), [account](/bip39-word/account/) and [accuse](/bip39-word/accuse/).
- **"acce"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins accepter in the [French list](/french/), acceso in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and accenno in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "access" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #20 (word 18 of 18). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words. As the last word of vector #20, its final 6 bits, **001010**, are the checksum of the 18-word phrase.
