## About "cherry" in BIP39

- "cherry" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"cher"**, already identify it, because **"che"** also begins [cheap](/bip39-word/cheap/), [check](/bip39-word/check/), [cheese](/bip39-word/cheese/), [chef](/bip39-word/chef/) and [chest](/bip39-word/chest/).
- **"cher"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins chercher in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
