## About "celery" in BIP39

- "celery" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"cel"**, already identify it, because **"ce"** also begins [ceiling](/bip39-word/ceiling/), [cement](/bip39-word/cement/), [census](/bip39-word/census/), [century](/bip39-word/century/), [cereal](/bip39-word/cereal/) and [certain](/bip39-word/certain/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"cele"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins celebre in the [Italian list](/italian/), celebrar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and celer in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
