## 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](/bip39-word/can/), [canal](/bip39-word/canal/), [cancel](/bip39-word/cancel/) and [cannon](/bip39-word/cannon/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [can](/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](/spanish/) and candela in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
