## About "crime" in BIP39

- "crime" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"crim"**, already identify it, because **"cri"** also begins [cricket](/bip39-word/cricket/), [crisp](/bip39-word/crisp/) and [critic](/bip39-word/critic/).
- **"crim"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins crimen in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and criminal in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
