## About "carpet" in BIP39

- "carpet" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"carp"**, already identify it, because **"car"** also begins [car](/bip39-word/car/), [carbon](/bip39-word/carbon/), [card](/bip39-word/card/), [cargo](/bip39-word/cargo/), [carry](/bip39-word/carry/) and [cart](/bip39-word/cart/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [car](/bip39-word/car/). Write "carpet" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"carp"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins carpeta in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and carpete in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
