## About "curious" in BIP39

- "curious" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"curi"**, already identify it, because **"cur"** also begins [current](/bip39-word/current/), [curtain](/bip39-word/curtain/) and [curve](/bip39-word/curve/).
- **"curi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins curioso in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
