## About "climb" in BIP39

- "climb" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"clim"**, already identify it, because **"cli"** also begins [click](/bip39-word/click/), [client](/bip39-word/client/), [cliff](/bip39-word/cliff/), [clinic](/bip39-word/clinic/) and [clip](/bip39-word/clip/).
- **"clim"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins climat in the [French list](/french/) and clima in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
