## About "actress" in BIP39

- "actress" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"actr"**, already identify it, because **"act"** also begins [act](/bip39-word/act/), [action](/bip39-word/action/), [actor](/bip39-word/actor/) and [actual](/bip39-word/actual/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [act](/bip39-word/act/). Write "actress" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"actr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins actriz in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
