## About "attack" in BIP39

- "attack" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"atta"**, already identify it, because **"att"** also begins [attend](/bip39-word/attend/), [attitude](/bip39-word/attitude/) and [attract](/bip39-word/attract/).
- **"atta"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins attaque in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
