About "cancel" in BIP39
- "cancel" has 6 letters, but the first four, "canc", already identify it, because "can" also begins 7 other words, among them can, canal, candy and cannon.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, can. Write "cancel" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "canc" is unique only within the English list: it also begins cancelar in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
