About "candy" in BIP39
- "candy" has 5 letters, but the first four, "cand", already identify it, because "can" also begins 7 other words, among them can, canal, cancel and cannon.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, can. Write "candy" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "cand" is unique only within the English list: it also begins candil in the Spanish list and candela in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
