## About "critic" in BIP39

- "critic" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"crit"**, already identify it, because **"cri"** also begins [cricket](/bip39-word/cricket/), [crime](/bip39-word/crime/) and [crisp](/bip39-word/crisp/).
- **"crit"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins critère in the [French list](/french/), critico in the [Italian list](/italian/) and criticar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
