## About "circle" in BIP39

- "circle" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"cir"**, already identify it, because **"ci"** also begins [cigar](/bip39-word/cigar/), [cinnamon](/bip39-word/cinnamon/), [citizen](/bip39-word/citizen/), [city](/bip39-word/city/) and [civil](/bip39-word/civil/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"circ"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins circuler in the [French list](/french/), circo in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), circa in the [Italian list](/italian/) and circuito in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
