## About "cart" in BIP39

- It takes all four letters to identify "cart": **"car"** also begins [car](/bip39-word/car/), [carbon](/bip39-word/carbon/), [card](/bip39-word/card/), [cargo](/bip39-word/cargo/), [carpet](/bip39-word/carpet/) and [carry](/bip39-word/carry/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [car](/bip39-word/car/). Write "cart" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"cart"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins carton in the [French list](/french/), carta in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), cartolina in the [Italian list](/italian/) and cartaz in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
