## About "blanket" in BIP39

- "blanket" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"blan"**, already identify it, because **"bla"** also begins [black](/bip39-word/black/), [blade](/bip39-word/blade/), [blame](/bip39-word/blame/) and [blast](/bip39-word/blast/).
- **"blan"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins blanchir in the [French list](/french/), blanco in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and blando in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
