## About "desk" in BIP39

- It takes all four letters to identify "desk": **"des"** also begins [describe](/bip39-word/describe/), [desert](/bip39-word/desert/), [design](/bip39-word/design/), [despair](/bip39-word/despair/) and [destroy](/bip39-word/destroy/).
- **"desk"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins deska in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
